Importing Transactions via FTP

You can use either asynchronous or standard turnaround in Transaction Manager for importing transactions via FTP. Asynchronous processing is recommended for large file imports.

 

NOTE

Cloud Flat File will need to be set up in the BSP in order to import transactions via FTP. See Cloud Flat File Business System Setup.

To import transactions via FTP:

  1. Select Transaction Manager > Transactions on the Foundry   Menu to launch the Transactions workspace.

  2. Select one or more transactions for turnaround. Data selection methods are outlined under 'Working with Grids' in the Platform User Guide.

  3. Select   Turnaround from the Actions   dropdown menu, and then select Standard Turnaround or Asynchronous Turnaround (or select   Turnaround directly from the action bar) to import transactions. 

  4. In the Async Transaction Turnaround dialog, enter an Async Event Name and click Start Event.



    The name you provide for the event will make it easier to monitor in the Asynchronous Events grid.

    In the FTP folder, notice there are several sub-folders created during this process.



    Folder Descriptions:

    Folder Name

    Description

    Transaction

    The Transaction folder is from where the initial EDI document originates.

    Transaction_Processing

    Once the asynchronous import begins the EDI document will be moved from the Transaction folder to the Transaction_Processing folder. The status of the event can be monitored in the Asynchronous Event Activity in Transaction Manager's System Activity.

    Transaction_Archive

    Once the import is successful, the EDI document will be moved to the Transaction_Archive folder. The status of the event can be monitored in the Asynchronous Event Activity in Transaction Manager's System Activity.

    Transaction_Error

    If there are errors with the import, the EDI document will be moved to the Transaction_Error folder. The status of the event can be monitored in the Asynchronous Event Activity in the Transaction Manager's System Activity.
