Sterling B2B Integrator - Importing and Exporting EBICS Client Resources

You can import resources and export configuration data for resources pertaining to EBICS Client using Sterling B2B Integrator.

For example, you can export configuration data for bank profile, user profile, file formats, offer, and user permission in an XML format and store it on the system. You can import configuration data for bank profile, user profile, file formats, offer, and user permission in an XML format. For more information about managing resources, see Resource Management in the Sterling B2B Integrator information center.

When you select to export user permission or offer, all the dependant resource types (for example, the bank and the user profiles) are also exported. During import, ensure that you select each dependant resource type that is displayed in a separate page. For example, if you selected to import user permission, ensure that you select the associated user profiles.

Note: If you are exporting a bank profile with a default URL and the bank profile exists in the target system, but is associated with a different default URL, then the bank profile will have multiple default URLs after the import. To retain a single default URL, log in to EBICS Client application dashboard and edit the bank configuration settings. Else, the EBICS Client run time uses the first default URL fetched from the database to perform transactions.
Note: In EBICS Client, a bank can have only one offer. If a target system has an offer with a primary key same as the one in the export XML, and if the Resources to be updated option is set to Yes, then the offer in the target system is updated with the order types associated with the offer in the export XML. However, if the primary key of the offer in the target system is different from the one in the export XML, then the offer and associated order types in the target system are replaced with the offer and associated order types in the export XML.
