BAPLIE IMPORT

BAPLIE can be imported directly from the USB / SD/ miniSD or other media compatible with your mobile unit.
using the syntax :
file:///mnt/usbhost/usb1/mybaplie.edi
where mnt/usbhost/usb1 is the path determined by the File Manager. A video has been placed on youtube to assist you in importing.

Importing from the Web:
If you do not have access to external media , you can upload your BAPLIE to the web and download it from there.
For that you will enter
http://www.myserver.com/mybaplie.txt
Please use .TXT extension for your file and not EDI as some website do not have any idea about EDI and may reject the file download. Most Web Server do accept EDI extension but just to be sure.

If you do not have any webserver which will host your file,then you can use http://www.avocetdata.com/shipmate to upload your file.

Please note that avocetdata.com will delete your file automatically after you download it on your mobile.

If you need to store your file permanently you need an account with AvocetData EDI Cloud, a free service operated by Avocet for Seafarers. You need your facebook account to login to this service.

DOWNLOADING AND DEPLOYMENT OF BAPLIE
This version uses the mobile disk based data system , which is slightly slow as each data is verified and placed securely onto the database.
Advantage - Once we have the BAPLIE converted into a data base , data extraction and display becomes very fast .

Disadvantage: Data conversion is a slow process, a BAPLIE containing a 1000 containers will take about a minute to process , if you have 22000 containers in the EDI , it will take about 20 minutes to process all data.
But this is just ONE-TIME OPERATION so the advantages over ride this delay in processing.

Our Advance Version which is 18.0 uses XML data as BAPLIE is also available in XMLformat. If you use the SMDG BAPLIE format this APP converts the EDI into XML.
Advantage you get lightening fast processing of data as all processing is done using ram.
