Update the path to match the installation path entered to the installation script.

 

Recommended structure of Directory

  • One directory for every active Service (KI/LB/AG)
  • One Sent directory in which every successfully sent file is transferred to.

Examples:

  • /bgc/lb/tmp
  • /bgc/lb
  • /bgc/lb/sent
  • /bgc/ag/tmp
  • /bgc/ag
  • /bgc/ag/sent

All LB files are to be put into the right directory from the customers ERP. It is recommended that the files are written to a temporary directory and then moved to the directory that is configured to be scanned. Pagero automatically scan the directory for new files and further processing. Pagero will handle all files in the directory independent of their name or format, Pagero will change the name after BGCs requirement.

File access rights

Make sure the directory has the correct rights in order to handle files. Also verify that both the user that write the files and the user that runs the AutoFTP has sufficient rights.
NOTE: Incoming files from BGC is not fetched by Pagero or the customers FTP, but sent from BGC and therefore not handled by Pagero. To receive incoming files a separate FTP-server must be setup and configured. The incoming files directory should be decided between BGC and internal IT personnel and configured in the VPN settings.
