Infor SX.enterprise™ Integration
SDSI has developed a standard rule file for Infor SX.e version 6.1.040 up to and including all current 10x versions,
based upon samples provided by users of this product. This rule file provides document print formatting functionality,
as well as optional email and fax delivery, barcoding and archiving features. If you encounter any problems with this
rule file, and you are using a non-customized copy of SX.e, and the rule file has not already been customized, send a
sample text print file and your copy of the rule file to
support@synergetic-data.com, so that we can analyze and correct any problems.
If the SX.e application or the rule file have already been customized, please contact your Infor support representative for instructions.
UnForm is typically interfaced to SX.e via its printer configuration:
SASP → Printer Setup → Choose Printer → Device or Command or Script
The device or command can be an UnForm client command line, with the last option being "-ix" to account for the file name that SX.e appends to the command line, which becomes UnForm's input stream.
For example, the command might be:
uf90c -f "sxe rule file" -o ">lp -dhp4000 -oraw" -ix
SDSI also provides integration scripts that can be used as alternatives to direct uf90c integration.
SX.e Rule File
SDSI provides the standard rule file, as noted above, for many recent SX.e versions, maintained in cooperation with Infor.
The rule files, release notes, PDF instruction document, script files, and samples, are all provided in the sxe-10x-v90.zip file.
The rule files are named sxe-10x-v90.sds and sxe-10x-v90-conf.sds to avoid overwriting existing rule files.
For new installations, rename these files to have .rul extensions. For existing installations, the new rule
files must be compared with the existing rule files to determine if any customizations need to be applied
in the new rule files before implementing them.
The integrator should read the section in SXeUnFormRuleFileInfo.pdf on how to do rule file/set customizations
Download the file with the following link:
sxe-10x-v90.zip
Unzip this file in the UnForm 9.0 server location, which is implementor-defined on Unix/Linux and defaults to
C:\SDSI\uf90\server on Windows.
If you have questions or need support, please contact SDSI's
support@synergetic-data.com address, or your Infor support representative.
Important Note
The SX.e rule file set is dependent on features introduced in UnForm 7.0.09, so you MUST be running that
version or later to use this rule file.
Download these files and save them as .rul files in the UnForm server directory:
By default, archiving commands are turned on in the sxe-7m.rul file if UnForm was licensed to support archiving.
Some attention must be paid to the way we have set this up, as you might choose to use different library
names or customize the category indexing to suit your needs. You should consider archiving as a "beta test"
while you develop and test your changes. To change archiving attributes, modify the code blocks in the sxe-7m.rul
file, which contains a rule sets that match those found in the sxe-7.rul file.
To change library names, for example, look for lines like this one in the [Acknowledgement/Quote] rule set:
ufa_libpath$="SXE_Sales"
This line defines a variable ufa_libpath$, setting its value to "SXE_Sales". This variable is later used
in the archive command. You will find many ufa_xxx$ variables in merged code blocks that can be
modified if necessary.
The archive control is placed in the second rule file in order to allow more flexibility in updating visual document
enhancements without affecting archiving changes, which we anticipate will be more common in the field
than the visual enhancements.
To turn off archiving, simply comment the archive commands (#archive) in sxe-7m.rul. Note that
archiving is an optional component of UnForm, so if your license does not support archiving, the
archive commands will not operate. Comment the archive commands like this:
if uf.arcenabled
#archive {ufa_libpath$},{ufa_doctype$},...
endif
Likewise, if you wish to turn off the scanning copy that contains barcodes, change (uncomment) the '#if copy=SCANNING_COPY'
code to 'if copy=SCANNING_COPY' in the various rule sets, as seen below:
precopy {
# to turn off scanning copy, remove the # from next line
if copy=SCANNING_COPY then skip=1
}
