You must configure this setting if you want to calculate the storage and power charges owed for eligible units in N4. By default, during installation, N4 updates the value for this setting as http://localhost:8280/billing/services/argoservice. You can modify the same to specify the URL where the N4 Billing Web Service is running.
If you use N4 Billing, specify the URL where the N4 Billing Web Service is running as the value. Depending on whether N4 is using the REST or SOAP API client, the URL will be different. Check the setting ARGOCORE026 (REST_CLIENT_ENABLED) (on page 1) to see which client N4 is using.
If N4 is using the RESTful client, enter the URL with your billing host IP address as
http://<billing_node_ip>:<port>/billing/rest/xml/argoservice
If N4 is using the SOAP client, enter the URL with your billing host IP address as
http://<billing_node_ip>:<port>/billing/services/argoservice
If you do not use N4 Billing, you must override this setting by providing a blank space (“ ”). Read below as to why you need to do this.
In N4, you may at times need to cancel a preadvised unit (transit state as ‘Advised’ or ‘Inbound’) Unit Inspector Action
Administration
Cancel Advised. Assuming that the preadvised unit you are trying to delete already has corresponding records in the Chargeable Unit Events (on page 1) (CUE) table with a status of Draft, Partial, or Invoiced, then,
If you do not use N4 Billing, by overriding this setting by providing a blank space as the value as mentioned above, N4 lets you go ahead and delete the preadvised unit. The apex logs display an error message to this effect stating “Cancel Preadvise (Action) - deleted INVOICED/PARTIAL/DRAFT CUE events related to Unit[XXXXXXXXX:EqUnitRoleEnum[PRIMARY]:3ACTIVE:EXPRT:FCL:]".
If you are you are using N4 and N4 Billing together and if you have provided the N4 Billing URL under ARGOBILLING001 (on page 1), N4 displays the error message “Attempt to delete unit XXXXXXXXX which has invoiced events”, and does not let you proceed further with deleting the preadvised unit.
In both scenarios mentioned above, N4 lets you delete a preadvised unit if the unit has a record(s) in the Chargeable Unit Events (on page 1) (CUE) table with status ‘Queued’.
If you are using N4 Billing, ARGOBILLING001 (on page 1) should never be set to a blank space (“ ”).
