XMLPorts Runner for Business Central SaaS

It’s possible to recall XMLPorts (Xmlport.Import and Xmlport.Export properties) using the STREAM objects (InStream and OutStream), in this way it is possible to pass the source files (input \ output) in the STREAMS and to pass it in execution to the XMLPort in order to be processed; very useful function for Dynamics 365 Business Central SaaS.

UPLOADINTOSTREAM and DOWNLOADFROMSTREAM

[Ok :=] UPLOADINTOSTREAM(DialogTitle, FromFolder, FromFilter, FromFile, NVInStream)

“Sends a file from Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server computer to the client computer.”

[Ok :=] DOWNLOADFROMSTREAM(VarInstream, DialogTitle, ToFolder, ToFilter, ToFile)

“Sends a file from the client computer to the corresponding Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server”

Procedures for STREAMS (for XMLPorts and Reports)

procedure RunXMLPortImport()

var

FileInstream: InStream;

FileName: Text;

begin

UploadIntoStream(”,”,”,FileName,FileInstream);

Xmlport.Import(Xmlport::MyXmlportImportCustomer,FileInStream);

Message(‘Import Done successfully.’);

end;

XMLPortExport

procedure RunXMLPortExport()

var

TempBlob: Record TempBlob;

FileName: Text;

MyOutStream: OutStream;

MyInStream: InStream;

outputFileName: Text;

begin

TempBlob.Blob.CREATEOUTSTREAM(MyOutStream);

Xmlport.Export(Xmlport::MyXmlportImportCustomer,MyOutStream);

TempBlob.Blob.CREATEINSTREAM(MyInStream);

outputFileName := ‘MyOutput.xml’;

DownloadFromStream(MyInStream,”,”,”,outputFileName); //Save in Download folder

Message(‘Export Done successfully.’);

end;
