FTP - EDI docs to TN - content type problem

, ,
1

Hi!

I’m trying to send EDI documents to TN using the FTP protocol. TN receives the file but does not recognize it as an EDI file. The transaction is logged as a flat file (ffile - the EDI “string” is visible in the transaction log). If I send the exact same information using the EDI tool (from the administrator) the transaction is recognized properly (EDI envelope plus the interchange document etc).

I assume this has something to do with the content type, but I’m not sure how I can change that in an FTP client. Is there any other way I could make it work? Configuration etc…

Thanks,
// Mikael

Search for ftp client content type in the forums.

Check out the EDI Module User’s Guide, which has a section on submitting documents to TN by FTP. Basically you set your path to the location of the wm.tn:receive service (\ns\wm\tn\receive) and set the content-type in the file name (x12_850;application:EDIstream, for example). HTH,

Thanks! That was easy once you know how to. :slight_smile:
