CA 1- 6/11/2024: Customer Manual Update of the TLAMM Catalog
This advisory is to remind DMLSS customers that the DMLSS catalog updates from TEWLS are not automated and require manual action to sync with the TLAMM catalog. This manual update must be consistently performed to avoid ordering outdated items that are no longer sourced/cataloged. Below is the data flow associated with the catalog updates.
 
  1. The TLAMM Catalog file (TEWLS_IM-TLAMM-YYYYMMDD.TXT) file from TEWLS is passed to JMAR daily.
  2. CDMIA pulls/downloads the file from JMAR server
  3. This file is passed to CDMIA ‘as-is’
  4. At DLA CDMIA passes the file to MMC
  5. DMLSS Sites connect to the MMC during End-of Day Processing which pulls down updates to the TLAMM catalog data.
  6. DMLSS sites must then manually update their MTF/local catalogs remove/replace items they use that have been discontinued/deleted/replaced in the TLAMM catalog to reflect the most current product availability
