eCommerce Control sets the default values for EDI eCommerce processing. The program includes three frames.
Initial Frame
Use the initial frame to set domain-level control values, such as directories used during document import and export.
Default Subsystem.
Enter the name of the EC subsystem to be used when documents being processed do not identify the originating subsystem. This subsystem must be defined in EC Subsystem Definition Maint (35.13.1) before you can enter it in this field.
Input Directory (Import).
Enter the directory where the EC subsystem places files for import. When you run Document Import (35.1) with Direction set to Outbound, the system uses this as the source directory for selecting files.
Note Destination directories for exported files are specified in the Destination field in Transmission Group Maintenance (35.13.13).
Note The system prompts you to create directories if they do not already exist.
Archive Directory (Import).
Enter the directory where the system places the original SNF files when processing begins.

Error Directory (Import).
Enter the directory where files from the Input Directory that fail during load or unload are stored. Reporting and reprocessing functions use this directory for input.
Input Directory (Export).
Enter the directory where the system looks for files to load directly into the document repository and process for export without creating business documents.
When you run Document Import with Direction set to Outbound, the system uses this as the source directory for selecting files.
Archive Directory (Export).
Specify the directory where files from the Input Directory are moved after export processing.
Error Directory (Export).
Enter the directory where files from the Import Directory that fail during export processing are stored. Reporting and reprocessing functions use this directory for input.
Function Directory.
Enter the directory where the user-defined functions used during transformation processing are stored.
Process Log Directory.
Specify the default directory where the system creates log files when it is processing documents. If the directory does not exist, the system attempts to create it.
You can leave this field blank. If you enter a value, it defaults to the same field for new records in EC Subsystem Definition Maintenance (35.13.1).
Process log files can be used for two purposes:
•As a record of what took place during a processing session, including warning and error messages.
•As source information for system-generated e-mail messages. When processing errors occur, the system automatically notifies the user by adding the process log file to an e-mail message, provided that e-mail system and address information is defined in User Maintenance. Additionally, it sends status information from the log to other e-mail addresses specified for individual location cross-reference records in Trading Partner Maintenance (35.13.7).
Unless it is blank, the subsystem definition value overrides the eCommerce Control value. If both are blank, logging is disabled, and process control functions do not create permanent log files. Instead, the system creates temporary log files in the user’s startup directory. After sending process status e-mail messages, the system deletes the temporary logs.
Three fields set values for output reports produced when processing is initiated from outside the EDI eCommerce user interface. For example, some Financials applications can be used to process bank transactions directly from a related menu item.
Print Fail/Pass/Both.
Specify the level of information included in the output report.
Failed (default): Only files that failed to load are included in the report.
Passed: Only files that loaded successfully are included.
Both: All processed files are included.
Print Details:
Set this field to Yes to include detailed error and warning messages in the output report.
When it is No, the report includes only a summary of process events.
Report Output:
Enter the output device or file name the system uses to display the report.
If you leave this field blank and click Next, the system sets it to the file name eComOut.
Note When you use an EDI eCommerce menu program to select documents for import or export, these fields have no effect. You can set the corresponding values directly in the user interface.
