Uploading EDI .app file to Import Folder in SaaS

Hello,

Working with on a Kinetic SaaS Pilot environment. We are trying to upload a generated .app file to the Import Folder defined on the Company Config->Sales-Demand tab. What method is used to load files to this folder in the SaaS environment? Is this possible? Can it be done at the file system level (doubtful) or does it need custom function using something like Ice.Lib.FileTransferSvc?

Thanks, Randy

More context please.

We’ve got a hosted/on-prem setup so I might be wasting your time…but we’ve got EDIHQ as our translator and AS2 Complete handling traffic. The filepath is defined at the trading partner level with the user_defined_1 value (the .app file) being set in the individual partner/document maps.

C:\1EDI\hosted-address\Comms\AS2\CLEO\OUT\ {user_defined_1}

Thanks John. This is basically what we are trying to do, but we do not have true file system access to the folder on the Epicor SaaS server. Looking through the help, it just says to use UNC naming convention, but that is a no go for the SaaS as well.

We are trying to figure out how to place the .app file to the equivalent of the \EpicorData\ImportEDI.… folder in the SaaS environment.

OK, sorry I wasn’t of more use…hopefully someone that’s doing SaaS/EDI work can chime in with the particulars.

No problem. Thanks!

You should have access to an Azure File Share in SaaS. It looks something like this \\00000data.file.core.windows.net\EpicorData

If not, open a EpicCare ticket to have them provide one to you.

In the file share, you can upload your .app files to your desired directory, and in Company Configuration → Modules → Sales → Demand, put the path to your Azure File Share in the Import Folder box.
Example being \\000000data.file.core.windows.net\epicordata\000000\EDI

You should then be able to run the Import EDI Process, and it should pickup your .app files and process them.

Hope this helps!
