Sending data to SLX Web
Posted: 08 Sep 09 11:15 AM

Hi guys,
we're developing a tool which allows the user to scan data from businesscards. What we want do is to save the data in SLX if the user only has access to the SLX database over the web.
Now what my question is:
Is there any way we can save the data in the database? I've read something about sending a xml file to SLX. Is there any guide how to do such a thing?
It would be very nice if someone can help.
Kind regards

Kai:
There are several ways that this can be accomplished, but it also depend on what you mean by sending it to SLX Web.
Are you interested on writing the Data to the DB, or do you want to push the Data in such a way that it is presented to the User so he can choose if he wants to add the data?
You could use the SDATA interface, or build your own web service if you are just looking to write the data into the DB. Otherwise, you may indeed post that data to the application.

Hi Raul,
yes we want to write the data into the database. Like it's working in SageCRM, for example, where you only send the data to the activated web service of SageCRM and the service saves the data in the database. At the moment, we have a solution for the network client. There we are writing the data directly in the sql database, but that's absolutely no way. Please let me know if you need any more info on that.
Thanks for this really quick answer 
Regards

Then as stated, you could use the SDATA RESTful interface or build your own web Services.
And/or (on a low tech end), just create a page that accepts an XML as a Body of a POST, and then parse it and write it onto the DB. |

ok. is the way we have to go for each version of SLX the same or are there differences?
because we want to realise our solution for SLX 6 and 7. As far as I heard there are many changes espacially concerning our plans.
We have guys of an other company helping us with that and they told us the best and easiest way would be to send such an .xml to the SLX web portal.

| If you have multiple versions in mind, then a Custom Web Service would probably be the best fit, since it is the most likely approach to be "compatible" with current Web Versions. |

Ok, I've had a look through the SLX SDK manual but I only found a description how to connect using the OLE DB provider, but not using the SData.
Do you have an idea where I can find a description of how to do this?
Sorry for my questions but it's the first time I'm developing with SLX 
Thanks for the help

Hi Raul,
is there a webservice which SLX offers the user for such things or is the only way to do this to create an own web service?

Hi Raul,
we've find many info we need and started developing with the xml.
How do we have to create the connection string that we can open the leads.xml of the sdata portal for example?
