Order Lookup requires implementation from the solutions team to enable/customize the app functionality. Below are the steps to install the file collection service on a local device/server. 

Overview

The Message Transformer Windows Service is the client service that will run on the customer premise/infrastructure to read the files and load them into our middle-ware for review & transformation. It is best to install this service in on a device that will have access to these files.

Create the file location where the order files will be sent for Order Lookup to pick up the files from. efm will configure the service to collect these files. Once the location is set, please provide the location to your efm contact.

  • It is up to you where the files are placed but this location needs to be communicated with EFM.

  • Ideally please provide efm with the full UNC path of the files.

Create a Sub-folder titled "Archive"

Example: 

C:\Users\Despatch\Documents\Oneflo\Order_lookup\Archive\

Please move any files created prior to today's date to archive

Before installing

  • Ensure this is on a machine or Server that is always running. 

  • Prepare your Windows Service User (or a user with a password that will not expire)

  • Your user should have full read/write/delete access to the provided directory. This is needed as the Service will move the files into an "Archive" sub-directory once processed.

Download the installer by clicking here:

This step will ask you for the Client Id and Token. This is provided to you by efm.

  • ClientID: <client_id>

  • Client Token: <client_token>

Step 4: Confirm the service has been set up correctly

Access the directory of your files to confirm they have been migrated to the "Archive Folder"
