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 />
