EDI for DIM Furniture

Setup

• See EDI for more details.

• HO needs to be running a FTP server

• The stores need to be running a FTP client that understands .netrc files

At the store:

1. EDI file is generated by DIMWAspporepE.

2. DIMWAspporepE calls /u/cc/binl/edi_commit.sh

3. /u/cc/binl/edi_commit.sh moves the EDI file from /u/cc/ to /u/cc/edi/outgoing/ and assigns it a random, unique filename

4. /u/cc/binl/edi_upload_dim.sh is run (Scheduled to run every minute in cron)

5. /u/cc/binl/edi_upload_dim.sh sends the EDI files to head office via FTP

6. The FTP username, password and other settings are stored in ~ccc/.netrc. You should make sure that there is a blank line at the end of the file

At Head Office:

1. EDI files are placed in /u/cc/edi/outgoing/

   1. spporep calls /u/cc/binl/edi_commit.sh, which places the locally generated EDI files here

   2. Files generated at the stores are placed here via FTP

2. cron is scheduled to run /u/cc/binl/edi_upload_dim.sh every minute. NOTE: This script is different to the one at the stores

3. /u/cc/binl/edi_upload.sh takes all EDI files in /u/cc/edi/outgoing/ and moves them to /u/cc/edi/outgoing/enabling/

4. AccPack or Nexus (I can't remember which one) accesses the files via SMB
