7.3. MultiSite<br />

MultiSite is used for the data exchange between abas ERP clients when<br />

importing and exporting data.<br />

• Central data administration with allocation to different clients<br />

• Exchange of transaction data:<br />

A sales order is exported from client 1 and imported into client 2 as a<br />

purchase order.<br />

• Connection to sales representatives:<br />

The sales representatives have a copy of the company's client, possibly<br />

without sensible data, on their laptops. The data which the sales<br />

representatives enter via their laptops are transferred to the central<br />

company client via the configurable data exchange. The copies on the<br />

laptops of the sales representatives are updated from time to time by<br />

using the shadow client.<br />

7.4. EDP interface<br />

EDP stands for abas ERP Data Access Protocol. Whilst interfaces such as<br />

ODBC can be used for complex and standardized data links, the EDP<br />

interface can be used for the direct, individual "Program-to-Program<br />

Communication".<br />

The EDP interface supports all functions of the abas ERP data selection,<br />

both via pre-defined selection bars and the automatically contained<br />

standard tables. Using the EDP interface almost all data in abas ERP can<br />

be created and edited. The output of data is possible in many different<br />

formats. UTF-8 and other character codes are supported. EDP interfaces<br />

can be used with shell scripts for data import and export and also with the<br />

programming interfaces JEDP (Java interface) and ActiveX.<br />

<strong>2008</strong><br />

Application examples for the ODBC interface:<br />

• Circular letters in MS Word<br />

• Statistics in MS Excel<br />

• Queries in MS Access<br />

• Lists and forms with additional solutions like Crystal Reports<br />

• STS OnlineView<br />

• Information system with Visual Basic<br />
