Sample files are under StandardTemplates\PluginSample\FlatFile.Sample.

The following example shows the class structure of an ORDERS object for integration with CSV files and five different line types. The line types are in the first column of the respective line and are as follows:

1. 100¹⁾
2. 200²⁾

The ORDER class implements the interface IMapObjectRoot. Since mapping objects are structured as a tree structure, the interface IMapObjectRoot is the highest instance of this tree structure. The variables that are declared with the keyword public within the class are displayed as data elements as segments within the object tree structure. The class Kopf contains the header information of the ORDERS and implements the interface IMapObjectItem. This may only occur once per file. The class Position represents the item list of the ORDERS object. It also implements the interface IMapObjectItem, which represents the objects of the item list. These can be contained several times in the array list items of the class Kopf 6), while the Kopf are only available once.

Note: For the automated processing or recognition of entity types, appropriate settings must be made in the Type repositories.

Note: Processing CSV files with line types requires a specific setting of the read component of the entity type. The main parameters are here:

Note: using eBiss.Api;
