Need Info about ArcLog DB access API

FerozSoudagar — Fri, 29 Oct 2010 03:18:40 GMT

Hi

I am evaluating Arc Logistics 9.3 SP2.
Are there APIs available to directly create orders without having to use the import wizard.
Similarly are there APIs available to extra teh routing info without havng to go with the export wizard.
Appreciate your advise.

Thanks and regards
Feroz

Hello Feroz,

Yes there is an API which works great for custom imports and exports. You add a custom button to kick of your code. The ArcLogistics software CD has several samples, a diagram and a small guide to help you get started. When you need help, ask a question here.

Thanks Jeff. I believe we can also write an "external program" to push orders to ArcLog using the same API without a need to have a button in ArcLog UI as a plug in.

Best Regards

Hello Feroz,

Yes you can use the API to push data to ArcLogistics from an external program or application. The ExternalAddData sample does something similar from a console app.
