Creating a batch file

To enable TIM Enterprise to process the XML files, you need to create a batch file containing the following lines:

Code Block
languagenone
xcopy/Y "C:\Program Files\Tri-Line\TIM Enterprise\FTP\*.XML"
"C:\Program Files\Tri-Line\TIM Enterprise\spool\*.{sitecode}" 
cd "\Program Files\Tri-Line\TIM Enterprise\FTP\" 
del *.* /q
cd\ 
Info

In the above example, the

Keywordmacro
Label{sitecode}
needs to be replaced with the unique ID of the site object you are trying to send the data to. The site ID will be displayed in the general properties of the site object in the Directory.

The batch file will change the 

Referencemacro
Label.xml
file extension to the designated site code and move the files in the 
Referencemacro
LabelSpool
folder for processing. 

A Windows scheduled task must be set up as well in order to run the batch file every 5 minutes or so.
