Introduction
You can use the Exchange (XCH) module to import and export data to and from
LN.
Data is imported and exported by writing to and reading from information contained in ASCII files, which can be in various formats to support exchange of data between third-party applications, databases, and spreadsheets.
The exchange module has these primary purposes:
- To import data for conversions from other systems and from prior releases of LN
- To exchange data with other applications
- To interchange data between LN companies to support multisite organizations
Exchange is not recommended. However, if you are only transferring small numbers of records, or transferring entire tables on which you do not need to perform any data manipulation.
