Re: Import Excel file

[Jack Woehr <jwoehr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Like I said, Vern, it's a bear

   1. Download the file to .xlsx using ACS data transfer
   2. Click boxes etc. in ACS GUI to make it save the .dtfx *(dtfx
   apparently means Data Transfer From IBM i)*
   3. In the .dtfx file that ACS GUI automatically generates and saves for
   you,
      1. fill in the FDFFile= key will a fully qualified file path on your
      local box
      2. add the key SaveFDF=1
   4. Run the download again. This time it will save the .fdfx file which
   describes the DDS of the file you transferred.
   5. Now run an upload using ACS GUI.
      1. It will want the path to the .fdfx file that describes the DDS
      6. Click boxes etc. in ACS GUI to make it save the .dttx *(dttx
   apparently means Data Transfer To IBM i)*
      1. The saved .dttx file will reference the .fdfx file
      7. Now you *finally* have everything you need to do automated
   transfers.
   8. *java -Djava.awt.headless=true -jar
   /opt/ibm/iAccessClientSolutions/acsbundle.jar '/PLUGIN=UPLOAD'
   '/USERID=myUser' myfile.dttx*
   9. You may experience some iACS fu /w/r/t first login to the system ...
   after that daemon process is started that remembers you validated once it
   's all good,
