How to import XML files automatically?

Hello guys,

I would like to do the following:

I have some XML files that I want to import automatically into BC14.

I have already created the XMLPort that is responsible for importing the data from the XML file in a buffer table.

Do you have any idea how I can access the individual XML files in a folder by code?

First it should always be checked if new files have been added and if so, the files should be read in via XMLPort.

But how do I do that?

Many thanks for your support.

You should check out the file management codeunit.

Hello,

unfortunately this does not really help me.

Do you have an idea where I can take a look at the import of an XML file in the form of code?

Unfortunately all my personal sample code is from newer versions than the one you are on. But maybe this will help?

Hi, I think you are using BC 14 On-Premises.

You can check Codeunit 419 File Management to see if there is a function that can be used.

For example, NAV 2018: https://motochini.com/v11.00/object/cod/419

Hope this will help.

Thanks.
