Use eShopCONNECTED with Generic Import
- Once you have installed eShopCONNECTED, activated it, edited the Generic XML Web Import source and started the eShopCONNECTED Windows Service, the eShopCONNECTED Generic Import function requires minimal user intervention.
- The eShopCONNECTED installer will have added an eShopCONNECTED virtual directory in Internet Information Server (IIS) in the default web site of the computer where the installation was carried out, or if there are multiple web sites, you will have been asked to select the web site for the creation of the eShopCONNECTED virtual directory.
- Assuming that the chosen web site had a URL of www.MyServer.com, the eShopCONNECTED Generic Import web service will have a URL of www.MyServer.com/eShopCONNECT/GenericXMLImport.ashx.
- Replacing www.MyServer.com with the root URL for the chosen web site on your network will give you the eShopCONNECTED Generic Import web service URL on your network.
- The eShopCONNECTED Web Service accepts XML data in the form of an HTTP Web Post and the XML data is processed in real time. Each record in the XML data is processed separately and the response from the web service function will contain details of either the Connected Business Sales Order, Invoice or Credit Note created, or the error encountered.
- For test purposes, the eShopCONNECTED installation includes a Web Import Test page. See eShopCONNECTED Web Import Test topic for more details.
