Import Baan Applications

The Import Baan Applications page provides an interface to the SCA administrator to import Baan Runtime Data dictionary (RDDs) into SCA. RDD stores the data model definition of a particular Baan installation. The imported RDDs are stored under the application you have created in the earlier step.

The page has the following two group boxes:

- Baan Application Information: Displays the information about the newly created/modified Baan application.
- Baan Host Information: Use this group box to provide the details of the Baan ERP server, from where you need to import the RDDs.

Baan Application Information

The Baan Application Information group box displays the application you have defined.

Fields | Description
Application Name | Shows the Baan application name to be created or modified.
Description | A brief explanation of the imported Baan application.
Overwrite DD | This check box informs that the existing RDD information, if any, are overwritten during import. This checkbox is always selected.

Baan Host Information

Use the Baan Host Information group box to provide the details of the ERP server from where the DD needs to be imported.

Fields | Description
Operating System | Select the operating system where the Baan RDDs are available. The possible options are: Unix: In this case you need to enter the remote Infor ERP Baan server details, from where the RDDs to be imported. Windows NT: In this case the RDDs are imported from a path present in the SCA server. So prior using this option, you need to copy the RDDs manually from the Infor ERP Baan server to a directory in the SCA server. Important! For Windows, if you required both Application RDD and Tools RDD, you need to copy the required RDDs to the same folder in SCA server. For example, if you select Windows NT, only the Path field is enabled which expects a directory in SCA server containing both the Application RDD and Tools RDD. If you select Unix operating system, the following fields are enabled:
RDD Path (Application) | Specify the RDD path for application’s package combination. For example: $BSE/dict/dd<package combination>
RDD Path (Tools) | Specify the RDD path for tools package. For example $BSE/tools/dd.
Server | Specify the name of the Baan ERP server. This field is mandatory only if Baan ERP is installed on a UNIX environment. Note This field is available only for Baan applications.
User Name | Specify the Username to connect to the host. This user should have FTP privilege in the server specified above.
Password | Enter the password corresponding to the username.
Path | For Windows NT, specify the common path name that includes both the data dictionaries of Application and Tools in one directory. Specify the path where the data dictionaries of Application and Tools are available. The directory should reside on the SCA server. The data dictionaries of the applications packages and the tools package should copied from the Infor ERP Baan server before you import the application. Example Say you are entering “C:\temp\BaanRDDs”; this directory should be present in the SCA server. Prior to the importing process, you must copy the application RDDs from, say “ $BSE/dict/dd<package combination>” and tools RDD from, say “$BSE/tools/dd” to the directory “C:\temp\BaanRDDs”.
