Exporting Partner Tables

Using Partners

Gentran:Server for Windows – November 2005

Gentran:Server for Windows User’s Guide

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.

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 (*).
