Script to settle EDC batch?

[qsrsf]

There was a post a few months back about this and it was recommended not to do it (if I recall) but I am still interested in a script that would settle my EDC batches every day.

Any guidance? I know the risk of not having a pair of eyes look at the transaction report, but I also know the risk of relying on employees to do things like using the BOH server and settling batches.


Thanks!

BEGIN
TYPE <5 spaces> SETTLE
PROCESSOR <5 spaces> x
PROCNO <5 spaces> y <---10000001.REQ
PINDEX <5 spaces> 1
END


PROCNO and PROCESSOR depends on what your processor is.

Call this file 10000001.REQ or something that ends in .req and place it outside the EDC folder.

In your EOD batch file, make a line that copies this file into your EDC folder on the server such as - copy D:\10000001.REQ D:\Aloha\EDC\10000001.REQ

I have a few questions,

What is PROCNO?
I don't understand '<---filename.req'

Just copying this into the EDC folder will force it to settle the current batch?


Thanks!

gsrsf, do you have access to the Aloha Knowledge Base stuff? If so it is AKB 1104.

The Pronco is a number that points to the processor.
CES=1
Visanet=2
etc.....

What value do I put in the 'x' above for processor, I use CES? (Is it alpha or a numeric value?)

Pronco will be 1

What is this '<----filename.req' in the above example?

Does it settle the batch as soon as it is copied into the EDC folder?



THANKS!

FILENAME.REQ is just what you save the file as that has this information in it.

BEGIN
TYPE <5 spaces> SETTLE
PROCESSOR <5 spaces> x
PROCNO <5 spaces> y
PINDEX <5 spaces> 1
END




CES PROCNO is "1" and PROCESSOR is "CES"

It will settle as soon as that file enters the EDC folder as long as EDCSVR service is running.
