The web console jobs is to check specified directory for new XML files and if some new files is found, upload the data to a data repository, such as TraceTracker TIX. The files are uploaded one at a time from a queue. After a file is uploaded, it is moved to an archive, and when the queue is empty, the Data Uploader goes into an idle state. Later it will start the next upload according to a schedule or on explicit request.
The web console also provides the functionality of capturing EPCIS event or batch modify traceable items that already are in the data repository.
The Web GUI can be used to:
Monitor or manage the activity of the application.
View and reload the configuration
Manually enter EPCIS events
Batch update data in the data repository.
The Web GUI uses AJAX technology, so most functionality requires you to enable JavaScript in you browser. Common web browsers have JavaScript enabled by default, so this should concern you only if you previously disabled JavaScript for some reason.
