About: FILEWRITER Endpoint

In Business Integration Solutions, the FILEWRITER endpoint is used to write files to an external file system.

Usage

Use this endpoint if you want to write documents to an external file system, containing exported data from Microsoft Dynamics BC.

Concept

To be able to write the documents, you must provide the folder location and appropriate file name. You can make use of various file naming tokens available to create desired file names. Also, make sure to provide proper file extensions as the documents can be written in CSV, XML or Text formats. Optionally you can choose to overwrite documents.

If you want to view queue documents from different Microsoft Dynamics BC clients or locations, a network share must be used with the appropriate permissions for the users who are using that client.
