Running the JDE Import Process in FORGE

The Run JDE Import Process button on the dashboard toolbar kicks off the actual data load — FORGE itself does no file parsing.

What happens when you click it

1. FORGE calls a SQL Agent job named "JDE Prophix Run SP", which runs the SSIS packages that load and transform the JDE and FINFA120 data.
2. The button disables and a banner shows "Starting job…".
3. FORGE polls the job's status every 3 seconds and updates the banner: "Job status: Running …" while it's in progress.
4. When the job finishes, the banner shows "Job completed! Completed time: <time> — refreshing…" and the page reloads on its own about a second and a half later, showing the newly-loaded data.

If something goes wrong

• "Failed to start job: ..." — the job couldn't be started at all; the button re-enables so you can try again.
• "Job status error: ..." — FORGE lost track of the job's status mid-poll; the button re-enables.

In either case, the error message shown is the actual underlying error — worth including verbatim if you need to ask for help with it.

While it's running

You don't need to keep the tab open and watch it — but if you navigate away and come back before it's done, the dashboard will just show whatever data was there before the job finishes (the auto-refresh only happens if you're still on the page watching the banner).
