ParcelUploadExA

Upload an X12, EDIFACT, Tradacoms or VDA Parcel to the Specified Network/Mailbox OutBox with Base64String.

  public int ParcelUploadExA(string SessionID,
                             int NetworkID,
                             int MailboxID,
                             string FileName,
                             string ContentBase64)

Parameters

SessionID - String - GUID
NetworkID - Integer
MailboxID - Integer
FileName - String
ContentBase64 - string

Returns

int

Remarks

This method allows Parcels to be directly uploaded to ECGrid through the ECGridOS interface. Other communication channels are available such as FTP or AS2.

The content must be X12 or EDIFACT in order to be processed and routed by ECGrid. To send non-EDI data, use ParcelUploadDirected().

FileName must be a valid Windows filename, invalid FileNames will generate SOAP Exception.

Bytes must equal the Content length, or a SOAP Exception will be raised.

using System.Web.Services.Protocols;
using ECGridService = <ProjectName>.net.ecgridos;
