The application allows the user to define 'maps' that map the external data to Appx files or fields. Once the map is defined, there are 2 steps required to import data:

When defining the mapping, the user can enter the tags directly or they can choose to process an actual XML file first, and then refer to the tags found in that XML file in their mapping. This is often easier, as the user will be able to see the actual tags and the data associated with the tag.

> > | The easiest way to understand how to 0DX is to work through an example. In the DMO application, run the Job called EXPORT PROSPECTS/CONTACTS. On the disposition screen, make sure you choose a form with a page length of zero, otherwise the XML file will not import completely. This will export the Prospect and Contact Data from DMO in a simple XML format and upload it to your desktop as PROSPECT.XML. We will use this file for the tutorial. The first step is to define our mapping using Mapping Files and Fields. | |||||||

Data Exchange ApplicationA new application (0DX) is included with 5.3. This application facilitates the exchange of data between Appx and external systems.Overview:The 0DX application included in 5.3 makes it easier to exchange data with external systems. The initial implementation only imports data in XML format, future plans include an export API, and more input formats. The application allows the user to define 'maps' that map the external data to Appx files or fields. Once the map is defined, there are 2 steps required to import data:
InstallationThe 0DX application should automatically be added to your Application file during the 5.3 installation. If not, you can manually add it. If you plan to use 0DX with a version other than '00', you will have to manually add those as well. It is not necessary to copy the 0DX design files from version '00' to other versions, the Appx engine will automatically use version 00 in all cases (similar to the Appx report writer SQL). Next, add 0DX as a related application to any Databases that will use it, and run Create Files for that Database. Finally, if you plan to expose the user interface, define an Optional Child somewhere in your application that invokes application 0DX, process type MENU, with no process name. If you only plan to use the API, you can skip this step. Your client screen size should be set to 28 x 120 minimum to run 0DX interactively.UsageWhen you run 0DX, you should see the following menu:Comments:Read what other users have said about this page or add your own comments.-- JeanNeron - 2013-09-25
