This product provides quick and easy adoption of OFTP2 with a single trading partner at a very low-cost.
How does it work?
The OFTP2 Express application sends and receives files via an OFTP2 communication session with a single trading partner. The application does not use a database, and configuration parameters are taken from an XML configuration file.
The application is provided as a .net DLL, with a simple API that allows another application to initiate the connection and obtain feedback on the progress of the session. A log file is also created by the application to include full details of any activity (calls, files, etc).
The .NET Library provides DLLs to create custom applications in Visual Studio. This facilitates full integration of OFTP2 Express into your applications and permits OFTP2 Express functions to be executed directly from your code.
The GUI could not be simpler. Set up the directories to be used for incoming and outgoing files, as exemplified in the image below (click here to enlarge):
