Landing Report Data

Landing_report

The landing_report element is the top level element in landing report files.

The landing_report element has several attributes.

data_entry_user - the userid of the user who originally entered and submitted the landing report.
data_entry_user_org - the data entry user's organization. This can be the seafood processor, or an agency if the landing report was data entered by the agency.
data_entry_submit_date - the date and time the report was submitted.
last_change_user - the userid of the user who made the most recent edits to the report. This can be an agency user who edited agency data not visible to processors.
last_change_date - the date and time of the most recent edit.
no_change_after_date - the date and time after which processors cannot edit the report unless unlocked by an agency user.
catcher_processor - a flag that indicates at-sea processing activity. This attribute is used for agency purposes, and will typically be omitted.
operation - the id of the operation that the user selected to use for defaulting processor codes and permits. Changes to the landing report code and permit value may break the relationship, so the operation attribute will not always have a value.

The landing_report has the following elements.

Processors can use the Tender Trip Management web page to assign a tender trip number to a list of landing reports. The Tender Trip Management page allows processors to export all the landings of a given tender trip number to a worksheet in an Excel workbook. In this way many trips can be appended to a workbook as individual worksheets. The tender trip number and the Tender Trip Management web page together serve as a stopgap measure for processors who managing their fish tickets in excel workbooks, or are moving from Excel to a more full featured third-party management toolset.

Data Type

Since Schema Version

Oracle Database Data Definition

Values

text

2.3

VARCHAR2(10)

A processor assigned tender batch number. It can be up to ten characters in length.
Total_tare
The fishing period element is an optional field. This element is used in Bristol Bay Salmon fisheries with mixed salmon landings. Due to the rapid execution of these fisheries, in some cases Bristol Bay area managers allow processors to report initial fish tickets containing unsorted or mixed salmon. As a result these tickets have a single line item and single grading and pricing item of mixed salmon.
Tare weight is the weight of the container holding the item during the weighing process. In weighing fish, we would subtract the tare weight from the total weight to get the actual weight of the fish.
It is not uncommon for vessels in Bristol Bay to use a standard bags, brailer, or tote to while weighing the fish. As a result the tare weight of the bag, brailer or tote can easily be calculated ahead of time and reused for all fish weightings.
Some tenders find it faster to weight all of the fish to get a total weight including tare. The tenders count the number of uniform totes and multiply this by the know weight of a these standard totes to get the total tare. The tender can then subtract the ¿total tare¿ from the ¿total weight including tare¿ to arrive at the ¿total weight of the fish¿.
The total_tare field in the landing report xml is used as a place holder value in the tLandings system. Upon submission to the eLandings database, tLandings Processor Tender Interface (PTI) runs the calculation to calculate the ¿total weight of the fish¿ on the ticket and discards the ¿total_tare¿ value. Once the total_tare has been applied it is not reversible to its original state. Total_tare is not stored in the eLandings database.
Fishing_period
The fishing period element is an optional field. This element is primarily used in Salmon fisheries.
A fishing period is a two digit number used by some ADFG fisheries area managers to identify a commercial fishery opener. Harvest may or may not have occurred during the opener, dependent upon weather and processor/buyer availability.
In some fisheries, such as herring, there may be multiple periods within a day. Periods are sequential and increase incrementally through the last opening of the season, but harvest records may not be associated with some openers. The first annual opening of the season begins with # 01.
Out_of_state
The out of state element is a Boolean flag used for internal use only. It is provided to the International Pacific Halibut Commission (IPHC) at their request. The IPHC uses this field to indicate that the IPCH data entered the landing report data in outside the state of Alaska. All other users should ignore this field.
Tender_batch
The tender batch element is optional and can hold a six character alpha-numeric value. This element is primarily used in Salmon fisheries. Processors using the tLandings Processor Tender Interface (PTI) and insert (or submit) a list or batch of salmon fish tickets, delivered by a tender, to the eLandings database. At the time of insertion (or submission), the processor user can create an arbitrary name to be associated with all of the landing reports included in this insertion. Later, the user can query the eLandings database for tickets based on the user defined tender batch number to make further mass edits. Specifically, processors use this field to prepare a list of tickets to apply mixed salmon updates to.
