Transfer XML Export Files


Back Office Menu -> Daily Close Menu -> Transfer XML Export Files

XML data export files can be generated as part of the Daily Close 2 and Daily Close 3 posting, or from Automatic Job Scheduling as explained in XML Data Exports Overview.
The XML export files are saved in a folder on the fileserver as defined in the Company Daily Close Parameters.
Selected XML export files can be deleted and pulled down to a local drive using this Transfer XML Export File utility.
A parser can then be used to reformat the output with selected data that can then be converted to new formats.

Note: This utility is only visible on the menu tree if an XML Data Export Directory is assigned in the Company Daily Close Parameters.
Operator Security Role permissions should be setup for this menu option, as there is no further restriction to accessing or deleting the XML files on the server.

The prompts include:

XML EXPORT DIRECTORY
The directory and path on the fileserver defined in Company Daily Close Parameters is displayed, and cannot be changed.
This is where the XML exports have been saved.

DOWNLOAD DIRECTORY
The "home" directory for this Client is displayed.
If this is not the correct destination on the Client, the path can be changed in the Client Directory field before initiating the transfer.

Proceed?
Click ACCEPT to display the files available in these directories and to proceed with the transfer, or CANCEL to abort.

Resulting File Transfer Screen:

To select a file to be deleted, double-click on the appropriate XML file on the Host, or highlight the record and click the DELETE button.
