Yes,

You'll have to create a program for uploading data from a flat file ( this should be on application server since in background frontend is not accessible )

Then you have to schedule a job for this program.

Hope this helps

Hi,

Yes,it is possible, but you need to ensure that the Flat file will always have updated records, otherwise the same records will get duplicated.

That means we cannot upload it from prsentation server?

As ws_upload and Upload wont work at background?

Is there any alternate way of doing it?

Thanks for ur ans..i ll reward it ..

[Former Member]

Yes,

That means that you cannot have files read from presentation server. This especially if you want the job to be automated or scheduled say daily or hourly.

If your are not scheduling it and just want to execute the program in background only once or everytime you run then you can use the alternatives given by other folks
