PSIPENTA interface

Attention: a separate license (EPOSPSIPENTA) is required for using this interface.

Any data can be read and written into PSIPENTA with the functions in this interface. The interface works with the PSIPENTA business objects. The way these business objects work is similar to interactive work with PSIPENTA forms. The following procedure typically applies for reading data records.

Open the belonging object.
Select the filter view.
Enter the filter criteria.
Change to detail view.
Read the data.
Select the next data record...

Access to the data in the forms is made using the names of the fields. These can be calculated in the PSIPENTA forms by positioning the cursor on the desired field. The field name is displayed after a short time.

When writing data in PSIPENTA forms you must ensure that the PSIPENTA check criteria for the form are not damaged. This involves the maximum field lengths, selection lists in the value inventory, and the checking mechanism for the form. Before using this interface to insert a data record, you should enter such a data record interactively and note the system messages with this.

The examples from the PSIPENTA_STD group should be read through in order to better understand the interface.

The log in function must generally be called before using the interface. If this does not occur, the interface attempts to process the log-in itself. To do that, the data entered in the PSIPENTA tab in the ePOS settings is used.
