The EDI module uses Progress code generation for accomplishing many of its tasks. Code will be generated for inbound and outbound formulas, and Edit programs. This code will be stored in user defined directories. As well, all the data communications will use directories for storing data to be sent and data received. The following illustration shows the recommended directory structure as well as providing the appropriate link to where the directory is entered. For clarity we have assumed that the root directory is "/", however in your environment you may change this to another directory, as long as the sub-directory structure follows our model. In our GUI version the root directory is stored in the EDI Control File. In our case it is d:\gtrdata.

Here is an illustration of the directory structure for an NT environment. Note the the communication directory d:\gtrdata\scripts is not shown. The root directory for this environment is d:\gtrdata.
Notes
*1. For each file location or VAN another sub directory will be created.
*2. For each partner another sub directory will be created.
