The accounting system integrates with PalmOrder through the inbox and outbox file directories. It does not need to implement the mobile client network protocol itself.
Data for devices
The integrator places exchange.xml and other mobile application configuration files in outbox.
The accounting system writes to outbox:
- XML tables with reference data, stock, prices, routes and other data;
- images and ordinary files required by the mobile application.
Table XML has a <table> root element. See XML tables for preparation rules.
Documents from devices
PalmOrder Server writes documents to inbox as separate XML files and stores files from devices in inbox/files. See File exchange and Documents from devices for processing, archiving and duplicate prevention rules.
Device-specific paths
By default, all devices use the shared inbox and outbox. An administrator can assign one or both directories to a specific syncName. See Data storage for details.
Verify the initial integration with the First exchange scenario.
