Hi Ljubisa,

I don't think eConnect is going to work for you. My advice would be to create an Extender Import using Extender and import the data using the Extender Import window. It has worked perfectly for me in the past.

Kind regards,

Leslie

In addition to Extender Import, eOne offers SmartConnect, which supports Dynamic integrations to GP and Extender Objects.

Extender tables are really difficult, to push data into, too many tables to deal with. I usually create a GP macro to push the data to the gp window, but will not work if you are importing data dynamically.

We are using Node Builder from SmartConnect to build interfaces to GP that do not exist in eConnect, SmartConnect or Integration Manager. It seems to be working well. Leslie's suggestion works, also. I've used the Extender Import function to build imports for Extender Windows and Tables.

You could do that, it would be unsupported by GP, because you could easily corrupt that data. I've done that once, but never again. The sproc was huge and complicated, I had to hydrate about 5 EXT* tables. idea: If the solution is required to be dynamic (no human interaction), then I would store custom data in your own custom table, then use vba to show those values in GP window. This VBA route is a LOT of work, but doable.
