Introduction
The Infor LN Transfer Service is a Windows service that
periodically makes contact to Infor LN software.
You can use the service to perform these tasks:
- Retrieve print requests that are waiting to be printed on a local printer.
- Transfer file output to a local file share.
- Transfer files from a given folder structure in a cloud storage system to a similar folder structure on a local system. This is the so-called “Download Folder” functionality. The cloud storage system can be the ${BSE}/appdata folder on the LN server or it can be located in an Amazon S3 bucket.
- Transfer files from a given folder structure on a local system to a similar structure in a cloud storage system. This is the so-called “Upload Folder” functionality.
Note: The Upload/Download Folder functionality for transferring files to/from
the ${BSE}/appdata area on the LN server was originally meant for transferring relatively small
EDI messages. Files larger than 10 MB are not supported.
The Upload/Download Folder functionality for transferring files to/from an Amazon S3 bucket was designed for handling large files. The 10 MB file size limit does not apply here.
You can configure the Infor LN Transfer Service in a configuration console. The configuration console is a snap-in for Microsoft Management Console.
