INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING THE INTERMODAL DRIVER DATABASE (IDD)

Please note:

1. A unique record in the IDD is SCAC + License + License State. The upload process first looks for an existing record based on this key. If found each field in the IDD record is compared with the upload record if there is a difference the IDD record is updated with the fields in the upload record. If the key is not found in the IDD a new record is added.

This means that if you are corecting a drivers license and/or license state two update records must be send. The first with the existing information with DV_TERM filled in with a date. The second with the correct information would then add a new record.

If you are unable to do this when preparing an upload file then we recommend that you implement a manual procedure to terminated or delete the existing IDD record using the web based interface.

This delete/add is handled transparently when changing a license/license state in the web interface.

2. No check of the data is made when your file is uploaded. We recommend that you periodically use the web interface to check that all in the IDD is as you expect. There is the ability to download your records via the web interface.

3. The license and license state entry made via the web interface is checked for following the rules that each state uses for there numbers.

If a record is added/saved via the web interface and fails this test the user is notified and the record is NOT saved.

This check is NOT made when adding records via auto-updates.

This means that it is possible for a record in the IDD to be edited via the web interface and the user may not be able to be save the record until the license/license state is corrected.

To start testing, please send an e-mail with the subject line:
   "SCAC (your scac code), IDD Auto-update"
to the address below.

Thank you,
