Hi there, I'm new to the ERP-LN environment and was wondering if somebody could give me some pointers.

IS there an XML connector that allows me to add/update tables from an XML file?

What I would like to do is export data out of a 3rd party system to an XML file. This part is all good. Then import the XML file into ERP-LN to add a record to the DB

thanks

This will be useful for you..

Hi KEith,

Besides the solution suggested by niraj, you can also use DLL 'tmboiruntime' which has inbuilt funtions for handling XML. These functions make the life a little easier for the developer. The details of the functions can be found in the document provided by Infor as per following details:

Document code : U8525B US
Release : SSA® Technology Architecture Adapter Suite 2.6
Document title : Reference Guide for BOI Runtime Libraries for SSA ERP

Using the standard XML calls, you can open a sequential file, read a string and parse it into XML nodes in your program.

You can also implement XML services through C4WS. I would suggest a porting set of 8.6 at least. You can send XML messages with any other client like SOAPUI, and it will create your data.

Thanks everyone for the input, I'm familiar with web services (outside of ERP-LN) and will probably look at a solution from that perspective.

So I should be able to serialize an XML document and send it to the web service Then the web service can deal with the function call in ERP-LN.

I'm just starting to learn the programming aspect of erp-ln now (I have 15+ yrs of programming). So ERP-LN is all pretty new to me.

So I'm finding he learning cure to be a little steep right now!

Thanks for the help and the reference documents

cheers
