Exporting Partner Tables
Introduction The Table Export function allows you to export partner cross-reference and
lookup tables to a sequential file. This allows you to define a table for one trading
partner and copy that table to another partner profile.
Reference
See the Partner File Layouts appendix in the Administration Guide for more
information.
Export file layout Typically, you export and then import tables created for another partner profile.
However, if necessary, you can build tables outside of Gentran:Server by
formatting your data in the export file layout.
The export file layout is a free-format ASCII text file. Each field must be
delimited (separated) with Hex01 because the field lengths are variable.
Note
You can create the file with a text editor (such as Notepad). The default file
extension for a lookup export file is .lkp. The default file extension for a
cross-reference file is .xrf.
Lookup table fields
The following table identifies the fields in lookup tables. Mandatory fields are
designated with an asterisk (*).
