How do the scripts work?

The following description is based on the supplied script 'automaticUploadBearingx.bat'. The script is only an example of how an upload is possible.

Variable

PROTOCOL

Description

the web protocol to be used (possible values are _http_ or _https_, should normally be _https_)

BASE_URL

You can access your Rest Facade via this URL. In this example, it points to the BEARING X development environment. For the production environments, it should be [your company name].app.bearingx.io

USERNAME

The password is the same as the one used to log in to the Bearing X environment.

FILENAME

Is the path and name of the file to be uploaded. This file should follow the same rules that already apply to the manual upload via the "Upload CSV" button in BEARING X.

WORKDIR

Describes the path of the directory in which the script should run. This can be changed for the desired purpose.

The script calls the rest facade using simple curl commands. The first curl command creates a login
and saves the created cookie in a file for further use. This file should be located directly
next to the script and is called _'bearingx-cookie.txt'_. You should remember to delete this
cookie as soon as the script is finished. The next curl command uses the cookie created in the first step
created in the first step to authenticate the upload call. The second curl command calls _'/api/or-
ders/upload'_ of the rest facade and appends the file to be uploaded to the call.

Before executing, make sure that the line endings of the bash script are correct. It can happen
It can happen that the line endings are changed by copying and pasting (e.g. from an e-mail).
The Windows batch script can handle Windows and UNIX line endings.
