General

The following describes how the upload Upload-module works and how an ERP system can fetch the upload Upload-files from the store shop server via SFTP.

Upload

...

products

In the storeshop, upload products are marked accordingly. For each upload product, a customer can upload one or more upload Upload-files after the order process.

Upload-ID /

...

Position-ID

As soon as an upload product is placed in the shopping cart, the store shop generates an upload Upload-ID once. This upload Upload-ID always remains the same during a session.
In addition, an item Position-ID is generated for each upload product. If an upload product is subsequently deleted from the shopping cart, the associated item Position-ID is also deleted.

For each upload Upload-ID and position Position-ID, the store shop synchronously creates upload directories with the same name, in which the upload files are stored by the upload Upload-module.

The directory structure is as follows:
<upload root directory>.

• Upload-ID (upload Upload-ID of an order)

  • finished.sync (Finished-file)

  • upload.log (log Log-file)

  • fileinfo.dat (info Info-file)

  • ItemPosition-ID1 (upload Upload-ID of the 1st itemposition)

    • Upload-file1

    • Upload-file2

    • ...

    • Upload-fileN

  • Position-ID2 (Upload-ID of the 2nd position)

    • Upload-file1

    • Upload-file2

    • ...

    • Upload-fileN

  • ...

  • Position-IDN (Upload-ID of the N. position)

    • Upload-file1

    • Upload-file2

    • ...

    • Upload-fileN

...

Transfer of the Upload-ID / Position-ID in the order data

The ERP system is informed of the upload Upload-ID and position Position-ID within the purchase order.
Extract from the order data:<Order>

<Order>
   ...

...

   UploadID     = 5DA7106A
   ...

...

</Order>

...

<OrderList>
   <Item>
      Number    = 1234
      Name      = Product 1
      UploadID  = A882F49D      (Position)
	  ...
   </Item>
   <Item>
      Number    = 1111
      Name      = Product 2
      UploadID  = A22445566     (Position)
	  ...
   </Item>
   <Item>
      Number    = 567890
      Name      = Product 3
      UploadID  = A22445566     (Position)
	  ...
   </Item>
<OrderList>

Based on this information, the ERP system can pick up the upload Upload-files for each order specifically via SFTP.

Administration files

In addition to the upload Upload-files, there are 3 administration files directly below the upload directory. These are:

• finished.sync (completion Completion-file)

• upload.log (log Log-file)

• fileinfo.dat (info Info-file)

...

File "finished.sync"

...

Since the orderer can upload multiple files, he has to inform the upload Upload-module when he has finished uploading all files. For this purpose, the upload Upload-module creates a completion file named "finished.sync" in the upload directory associated with the upload Upload-ID.

A single line with the date and time of completion is written to this file. The format is "YYYY/MM/DD<space>HH:MM"
Example:
2013/03/27 18:57

Please note:
An ERP system is not allowed to collect the upload Upload-files via SFTP until the finished.sync file exists, i.e. the orderer has completed the uploads. For this purpose, the ERP system must implement a polling procedure for the finished.sync file.

File "upload.log"

In addition, a log file named "upload.log" is written to the upload directory associated with the upload Upload-ID and the log data is displayed to the ordering partyorderer. The file is saved in TSV format (tab as field separator) and contains the following fields:

...

The following "types" of actions are currently supported by the internal upload Upload-module:

From the 2nd line on the data follows.

Example:
Date Time Type TechType File Upload-ID Position-ID
12/19/2011 09:21 File upload upload front.pdf 0708D800 905B1908
12/19/2011 09:21 File delete delete front.pdf 0708D800 905B1908
19./12./2011 09:22 File upload upload front1.pdf 0708D800 905B1908
2011/12/19 09:22 File upload upload back1.pdf 0708D800 905B1908
2011/12/19 09:23 Uploads completed finished 0708D800 905B1908905B1908

File "fileinfo.dat"

The customer can select the content of the file via a select box for each upload Upload-file.
The file is saved in TSV format (Tab as field separator) and contains the following fields:

...

Starting from the 2nd line, the data follows.

Example:

File ID Type PosID
File1.pdf 0 Please select 696EE098
File2.pdf 1 All in one document 696EE098

Example directory after a completed upload:
<upload root directory>
0708D800 (Upload-ID)

• 905B1908 (Item Position-ID)

  • Front1.pdf (Upload-file)

  • Back1.pdf (upload Upload-file)

• finished.sync (Finishing-file)

• upload.log (Log-file)

• fileinfo.dat (info Info-file)

Please note:
After the ERP system has fetched the upload Upload-files via SFTP, the complete upload directory must be deleted by the ERP system via SFTP command. In addition, WEBSALE AG will delete all upload directories older than 6 weeks . (Clean clean up function of directory "corpses").
