How are ENGPART imports handled in OS4X?

ENGPART import is based on OS4X jobs which has a clearly defined sender and recipient, files and meta information. The only (one) data file in this just is the ENGPART file itself.

How are ENGPART jobs recognized?

There are two ways of incoming ENGPART jobs:

  • Automatically received via OFTP. The ENGDAT abstract file contains an information that the job is an ENGPART job. The plugin "OS4X plugin os4xplugin_engdatv2_decode" interprets that special attribute, logs out this situation in the job plugin logs and stops further processing of the job (even if a recipient has a defined receive plugin group).
  • Manual file upload with configuration of the sending company.

Handling automatically received ENGPART jobs

This chapter deals with handling automatically received ENGPARTs.
