there is *.app files will be imported in to Epicor Kinetic using “Import Utility”. How can I save those imported *.app files in to *.bak files? is there any REST API to save all bak files?
I am engineer of 17 years of experience. If i get the access of SQL Server where Epicor Kinetic data is there. If I get the MS SQL Server access in read access mode, if I understand all the stored proceedures, cursors, trigger and all, can it help below?
My intention is to learn
If I have Epicor Kinetic product. I have to configure it to new “Supplier” or “Manufacturer”. I need to know , what and all default tables are there? When and which table data get inserted at the time of Pre-MRP and POST-MRP? How can I configure database? Is there any documentation?
To be perfectly honest, thinking in terms of tables, especially if you want to update the database, will work against you in Kinetic. Learning what’s in the tables is a very valid pursuit, but in the 17+ years of working with Epicor products, I have learned that it is a service oriented package more than a database package. I treat it more like Microsoft Exchange. I would never just add data to tables and expect to work not knowing what Microsoft coders do. If I want to add a new supplier or manufacturer, I use the service, which is with a .NET object in Functions/Directives or REST with the UI and external programs.
There’s an on-going conversation on how to export customizations, and @klincecum has written some code to do the export but there is no importing back in at this time.
