Aptify 5.5.4 supports the ability to export general ledger (GL) account data in formats other than the four default formats found in the Generic GL Export Drivers plug-in. In this topic, the developer configures the exportFileUsingOtherExportSystem method to use a customer-defined GL data export format.

  1. Browse to the location of the applications folder for the Aptify scripts. For example: C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Aptify\script\Aptify\applications
  2. Open the Aptify.applications.batches.batchWizard.UI.js file for editing.

  3. Search for the exportFileUsingOtherExportSystem method.

    this.exportFileUsingOtherExportSystem = function (jq, batchId) {
   try {
       console.log("Please update 'Aptify.applications.batches.batchwizard.UI.exportFilesUsingOtherExportSystem' method with your implementation.")
   } catch (ex) {
       Aptify.framework.exceptionManager.publish(ex);
   }
}



  4. Update this method to support the customer-defined GL data export format.

  5. Update the calling method, exportGLEntries, to call the exportFileUsingOtherExportSystem method.

    this.exportGLEntries = function (jq, batchId) {
    //Show Export Batch dialog
    try {
 
        var exportSystemType = Aptify.framework.metaData.entities.getAttribute("Batches", "exportSystemType");
        if (exportSystemType) {
            switch (exportSystemType.toLowerCase()) {
                case 'solomonexport': case 'navisionexport': case 'greatplainsexport': //GreatPlainsExport
                    Aptify.applications.batches.batchWizard.UI.exportFileUsingSolomanNavisioneAndGreatPlainsSystem(jq, batchId);
                    break;
                case 'rossfinancialsexport': 
                    Aptify.applications.batches.batchWizard.UI.exportFileUsingRossFinancialSystem(jq, batchId);
                    break;
                default:
                    Aptify.applications.batches.batchWizard.UI.exportFileUsingOtherExportSystem(jq, batchId);
                    break;
            }
        }
    } catch (ex) {
        Aptify.framework.exceptionManager.publish(ex);
    }
}



  6. Save and close the Aptify.applications.batches.batchWizard.UI.js file.
  7. Return to your Aptify session and generate metadata for the Batches entity. See Understanding Entity Metadata Generation for more information.
