Integration API for MAS90

[rahulsv]

Hello,

Apart from using ODBC to directly write to MAS90 tables, and using Visual Integrator, are there any APIs that provide integration interface with MAS90?

My project involves updating MAS90 with external data. Most ideal would be Web Service interface. Even proprietary HTTP based interface would be fine.

Thanks.

The ODBC driver included with MAS is READ ONLY. While ProvideX does sell a read-write ODBC driver it is not intended or designed for use with MAS. It will cause 100% data corruption 100% of the time.

For ALL versions of MAS you would normally use VI. Starting with version 4.10 you can purchase the Business Objects Interface which will expose the COM in MAS and allow you to write to the data entry tables and post using VB. You would need to purchase through your reseller.

BigLouie,

Thank you for your update. Are there any tutorials or other articles on how to use Business Object Interface? I will contact Sage, but before purchasing it would be nice to know what is involved in using the Business Object Interface.

Thank you.

It is a weird deal where they will sell you the unlocking keys but will not give you any documentation until you attend class but they don't have any classes scheduled! duh

A lot of times people will buy the unlocking keys and their reseller will help them get the documentation from other resellers.
