You can also look at migration jobs, we use them to read information from csv files on a network folder to bring in information.  The migration jobs can then be run from scheduled database tasks at the appropriate interval to provide the update.  We only keep the newest file on the network folder and have a separate process after the file is read to rename the just read file to old.  This can be packaged as part of the migration job.

Thank you for your input. We currently use the migration jobs for other updates but we are looking for a more realtime process. We will use data migration jobs if that is the only option. Is there any other options?

Thanks

Hi @arebbeadle@arebbeadle 

Please let me know if I understood your question.

Are you planning on migrating files to Custom Logic Unit? Do you intend to move physical files? Are you trying to connect objects?

It is also possible to migrate data using the API created by the Custom Logic Unit, more specifically, NEW( ).

Hi @arebbeadle ,

Using a migration job as @ShawnBerk  recommends is certainly a good way to import data into IFS but depending on the version of IFS you perhaps could use a RestFul API to add or update data to a custom logical unit.  If you are using IFS Application 10 or above IFS should generate a projection and Restful API you could utilize to add, update or read data from the custom logical unit.

Here’s a screenshot of a Restful API we could use in our system to update one of our custom logical units.

We are using IFS APPS10 UPD11 IEE version,

thanks

William,

Sorry for the delayed response. Do you know if there is a good tutorial on setting up a projection for a custom LU?

Thanks,
