How is data from periodic entrypoints retrieved?

Question

By using an entrypoint our FI has written code that can take data from the database and save the information in a CSV file on the server The data includes things like user ID logon name etc From my understanding we will submit a deployment ticket and an explanation of when we want this program to run For the CSV file or any data though how will this data be retrieved by us for aid in making our reports Thank you Ethan

Hey Ethan The SDK contains functionality to upload files to AWS S3 bucket temporarily called ArdentFS https docs q2developer com docs guides online integration file uploads html You could retrieve the file from there Another idea would be to piggyback on your institution s FTP access to Q2 via https sftp q2ebanking com This is if you already have access in connection with Centrix an extract or a batch process Otherwise there may be a cost to get FTP access set up Just note in your deployment request that you need a mount point created to your FTP site Typically we will create a mount in the local filesystem at mnt outbound sftp Finally you may already have a FTP connection via the VPN that we use to download batch files If so you can import pysftp library or other libraries and use them to upload files to your own FTP site Just include a configuration in your extension that we can fill in with credentials and the proper endpoint In the case of an entrypoint you will need to either depend on an environment variable or import a config from a related extension using the WedgeAddress or VendorConfig DB objects https docs q2developer com docs api references q2 sdk db db objects wedge address html https docs q2developer com docs api references q2 sdk db db objects vendor config html
