When the grading units lose network connectivity to the database, they continue to function (without validation).
There are two files produced in this process: one is a local .eif file, which is written and processed by TEE.
The other file has a file extension of tmp. When the program is loaded, it checks for such files and will copy them to \\vap01\einterface\new with a file extension that will not have them post. A scheduled job (Post Uploaded Totes) which executes SSIS package PostStandAloneTMPfiles (1).dtsx to push the lot exension file (en_lot_ext) which TEE does not process. lot_ext holds the "y-code" and the "day code" for the totes, so it is important information.
