Creating an offline connection

If data has been extracted remotely using the IRC Portable Data Extractor, the data must be uploaded into IRC before it can be extracted and used by IRC. In this case, you must create an offline connection.

To create an offline connection:

  1. On the Connections page, click the Import icon to display a list of the ERP applications. Select Lawson to display the Connection Details page.
  2. Click Browse to locate one of the following files:
    • A .beu project file generated by the Portable Data Extractor.
    • A .zip file, containing the .beu file generated by the Portable Data Extractor.
  3. Click the Upload icon.
    Note: For information on the Connection field details, see the IRC online help shipped with the product.
