DATAPORTS Vs XMLPORTS - CLASSIC Vs RTC

Ravi_Thakkar

Hello All,

There are some doubts. Please, provide your comments.

1) Is that possible to Import TEXT File using XML PORT in CLASSIC? My answer is NO.

2) Is that possible to Import TEXT File using XML PORT in RTC? My answer is YES.

3) Is that possible to Import TEXT File using DATA PORT in RTC? Where dataport is accessed through code. My Answer is NO.

Please, suggest.

You are right

I'm always making my import and export code in a report - both for text and xml files.
Then it works in both RTC and Classic client...

Correct as I understand XMLports.
Your point 1 really threw me off in the beginning when trying to run XMLports in Classic ](*,)

Dataports and XMLports were merged into XMLports in RTC when we released NAV 2009. For not so obvious reasons the name stayed with XMLports. In NAV 2009 dataports should be transformed into XMLports to run in RTC. We added not only the capability of reading and writing txt files but also a request page

In all your assumptions are correct

Thanks.

I was trying to import csv file through Xmlport in Classic.

well...csv files are just like text files with another extension...rename it and dataport-it (if you're in classic) or xmlportastext-it (if you're in RTC), if possible...

well... [insert fileextension] files are just like text files with another extension. The only difference is that [insert fileextension] has rules in formatting, while a text file doesn't.
Which means that a dataport set for textimport will allow any file to be imported. Wether it will succeed will depend on the formatting in the file itself.

Thanks for your valuable inputs.

I am facing one issue regarding the XMLport, In Dataport we have the trigger PostDataitem but in XMLport this trigger is not available, so please help me to tell in which trigger should I write the code of PostDataItem Trigger in XMLport.

Thanks in Advance!
