ParcelUploadGZip

Upload X12 or EDIFACT Parcel to OutBox using GZip compression.

 public int ParcelUploadGZip(string SessionID, 
                         string FileName, 
                         int Bytes, 
                         [XmlElementAttribute(DataType="base64Binary")] byte[] Content)

Parameters:

SessionID - String - GUID
FileName - String
Bytes - Integer
Content - byte[]

Returns

ParcelID - The value assigned to a specific Parcel Record - Integer

Remarks

This method allows Parcels to be directly uploaded to ECGrid through the ECGridOS interface using GZip compression. 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 without GZip compression, use ParcelUpload(). To send non-EDI data, use ParcelUploadEx().

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.

        }
    } // END USING
