Setup > Usage > Imports / exports > Sequences 

An import/export sequence is used to define using a single code, a group of templates with associated file paths. The advantage of these import/export sequences is to be able, at one go, to extract or integrate all the files defined in the database by using the templates listed in the sequence, in the order of the description.

In addition, when it is used sequentially, the export with chronological number is made with a single increment in the chronological number: There is therefore a consistency between exported data with respect to time.

The definition of the sequences is particularly useful when multiple imports/exports are automated using the batch server (a batch task launch import or export sequence exists).

    Presentation

    To a sequencing is associated a list of models to use and the corresponding file paths next to them. These file paths may include the # character used during the chronological imports/exports: this character is replaced by the appropriate sequence number.

    Fields

    The following fields are present on this tab :

    Block number 1

    • Code (field CODE)

    This code groups the various templates used for import-export.

    • Description (field DES)

    Enter the description of the relevant record.

    This long description is used as a title in screens and reports.

    Grid

    • No. (field NUMLIG)

     

    Code for template import-export existing.

    • Data file (field CHEMIN)

    This is the access path to the file to be imported or exported.

    Specific Buttons

    The following fields are included on the window opened through this button :

    Block number 1

    • field OBJET

     

    • field CLES

     

    Block number 2

    • From folder (field DOSORG)

    Use this field to define the folder from which the record will be copied. The possible syntaxes are described in the Dedicated appendix.

    • All folders (field TOUDOS)

    Use this option to copy the record to all the folders defined in the dictionary (ADOSSIER table of the current solution).

    • To folder (field DOSDES)

    Use this field to define the folder to which the record will be copied. The possible syntaxes are described in the Dedicated appendix.

    Close

    This button is used to copy the record definition from or to another folder.

    Error messages

    The only error messages are the generic ones.
