Autopost

Winshuttle Autopost is used for posting data that resides in documents (such as Excel file) into SAP. It does not require manual intervention while uploading, but it must be placed in the workflow (based on the requirement) for an automatic post.

You can enable the ability to autopost data through Designer, instead of autoposting through the Winshuttle Central built-in workflows.

Value Pair	Description
centralsiteurl	Site URL
retries	If an error occurs during autopost, this parameter will define the number of retries to be made.
retryminutes	This parameter defines the number of minutes between retries.
validate	To validate or autopost

Note: Ensure that the Sync property of the plug-in is set to false so that the workflow pauses until the AutoPost job is completed

To autopost Winshuttle Transaction data through a workflow created in Winshuttle Designer, the workflow for data files must be removed from Winshuttle Central.

Workflows are required to be removed only once, and not every time autopost detail is changed. Ensure that you remove workflows only for data files.

The Workflow Admin site URL must also be added in Winshuttle Central under Workflow Configuration.

For additional information, see the Winshuttle Central Administrator Guide at the Winshuttle Foundation Help Center.

To remove Winshuttle Central data file workflows:

1. In Winshuttle CENTRAL, click the data file library.
2. Click Workflow Settings. Delete the workflow, if present.
3. Click Library Settings and remove the workflow by doing the following:
   1. Under Content type, select the data file doc.
   2. Click Workflow Settings.
   3. To remove the workflow, click Remove workflow.

To configure the Workflow Admin site in Winshuttle Central:

1. From the the Winshuttle Central Administration. page, under Site, click Workflow Configurations.
2. Add the Workflow Admin site URL.

To check the run status and messages, check the Schedule Job History page in CENTRAL.
A job that has run successfully is marked "Completed".

The following messages can be found in the listed metadata:

Error returned	Metadata
SAP posting	ErrorRows and TotalRows
Winshuttle SERVER	Data Post Status
An error occurred in CENTRAL or in Winshuttle SERVER	Data Post Status
Validation Failed: Validation failed for Central policies, licenses, roles, or SAP credentials	Approval error

Note: If the "Move to Run" Transaction preference is selected in Winshuttle Central, workflows created in Winshuttle Workflow produce multiple callbacks. Use "Move to run" only with the Winshuttle Central default workflow.
