The EngPart Add-On provides a function to automatically sort incoming ENGDAT messages. There are five criteria for sorting provided. The sorting function can be accessed from the main menu of the EngPart-window at File / Sort.
•Activate sorting - This enables the sorting function.
•Unpack / Rename - With this option set the files will not be stored with their ENGDAT file names but with their names provided by the ENGDAT abstract. Are the files compressed with GZIP they will be decrompressed. Without this option the files will only be moved into the target folder while their ENGDAT file names.
•Sort by - The ENGDAT messages can be sort by one of the following criteria:
Forwarding address (UNB) |
The column „Name“ must be filled with all available forwarding addresses from the EDIFACT header. These can be up to 14 characters long. |
Reply address (UNB) |
The reply address is the forwarding address of the sender. With this option it is possible to sort by sender. |
Department sender (SDE) |
The segment SDE contains the address information of the partner company and the sending department. This option is case sensitive. |
Department receiver (RDE) |
This option will sort by the department names in your own company. |
ENGDAT-Filename |
In the ENGDAT-filename as recommended in VDA4951 there are 5 characters for free use. These must always be filled. If there exists an agreement about how to fill this position it can also be used as an sorting criterion. |
•Add - The contents of the two edit fields above will be added to the table. To ensure that sorting always takes place the character * can be put into the name field. This entry will always be used when no other entry fits the criterion.
•Change - The contents of the two edit fields will be copied into the marked entry of the table.
•Delete - The entry that is marked in the table will be deleted.
Hint
The moving of the files out of the in-folder of !MC5 might influence other integrated ENGDAT functions. The Add-Ons Client/Server and HTTP Client can only access received files. Therefore they might no longer be able to access these files.
