UAT Focus Areas and FMIS5 Test access
4
Focus Areas for this UAT: Current Bill (all State & Division functions) EDS Upload & Download functions Projects (View-only)
FMIS5 Test application access FMIS5 Test can be accessed via ORC (State testers) and via UPACS (Division testers) Your current privileges from RASPS Production will automatically be transferred to
FMIS 5T and will have the corresponding privileges in Current Bill module If you have access to FMIS4 production, you will have “View-Only” access to the
FMIS 5T Projects module FMIS5 EDS Test access
Individuals that currently have a RASPS or FMIS EDS SFTP account will automatically get an account for accessing FMIS 5 EDS Test site
Instructions on how to use EDS functions using SFTP are in the State Preparation document

Current Bill File Example

Key Points:1. Column Header information should not be part of the actual pipe-delimited file that needs to be uploaded to Current Bill.2. Maximum Detail Amount allowed is 99999999.99 (No commas or $ symbols allowed).3. Transaction type has to be 10 for debits (zero and greater than zero detail amounts).4. Transaction Type has to be 20 for credits (less than zero detail amounts).5. No leading zeroes or spaces allowed on any of the fields.6. No Past Requested Payment Dates are allowed.

EDS downloads of projects data – Your State will receive the equivalent XML files to what is currently received from FMIS4 production
Currently, W43 (All Current Projects) Download Extract is available for download in the SFTP test site in the following folder: test/projects/extracts/
Users need a new FMIS5 SFTP account to access the FMIS5 EDS test site New FMIS5 SFTP accounts have been created for existing FMIS/RASPS SFTP user accounts
and the users will be receiving e-mails with information on the SFTP user account and temporary password
Users will need to access the “File Transfer Registration” function available as a menu in the UPACS Login page (https://fhwaapps.fhwa.dot.gov/) and follow the instructions to reset their SFTP password.
It takes about an hour for the SFTP account and the password to be registered in the SFTP server and so we suggest that the user wait at least an hour after they reset their SFTP password before trying to login to the SFTP server
Instructions on connecting to the SFTP Server using a FTP client and regarding the EDS Upload functionality is available in the State Preparation document

Key Points about GIS & Bridge# Validation
12
Geospatial functionality (GIS) FMIS 5 uses FHWA’s Highway Performance Monitoring System(HPMS) as the source for
validating LRS data. So please contact your state’s HPMS coordinator to get information on the Route data submitted to HPMS and use that data for testing in FMIS5T.
NBI Bridge Number Validation FMIS 5 system uses the FHWA’s National Bridge Inventory (NBI) system to validate the Bridge
numbers. In addition to checking if it’s a valid bridge number, FMIS5 will also check if it’s the best bridge number.

Review of User Acceptance Test Guidance
13
How to access FMIS 5.0 Test Environment Additional Guidance to Help With Testing Known Issues List
This list will document any known issues so that the users are aware of the issues that the development team is already working on fixing. The Known Issues List will be posted on the FUNI site and will be kept up-to date
Reporting Issues During Testing Follow-up After Reporting an Issue Planned weekend fix releases
Some of the releases could involve database refresh resulting in the deletion of any test data that the users might have created over the prior week.
