Hi All,

We just recently moved to RENXT with hosted service, and trying to figure out how can we automate the file download from the Azure hosted server to our own server. Does any of you currently doing it, and we really need some help.

Thanks,

Lijun

    Hi Lijun

    I have been experimenting with Azure a lot and have implemented a Logic App that downloads files from the Hosted FTP environment to my OneDrive. The file on the FTP are exports from TRE (large files) that run every night (in a queue). Is that what you are (sort of) looking for?

    There are more possibilities to get data from NXT/TRE by using the SKY API. We (www.flores.nl) have been working on a sychronization tool for exchanging data from and to Dynamics and NXT. See

    @Lijun Yuan, you will need Queue to do this; there is an additional fee for Queue.

    Thank you Martin! We figured out by use python script to get the file and then pl/sql to load the data.

    You are correct! We end up to get the Queue module and then using python script to get the files to local server.

    Thanks,
