 3.  Place your XML license files in your chosen SYSPRO folder

  • This is not a requirement, but SYSPRO will look for your license files in the SYPRO folder:  \Work
  • NOTE 1:  These instructions assume the primary SYSPRO license file has already been installed.
  • NOTE 2:  Depending on the solutions your are licensing, you may have one or two Cadacus license files.  For EDI, Shipping, and Freight Calculator Solutions, you will receive an "Addon" license from SYSPRO.  For all other "Cadacus" solutions, you will receive a license file from Cadacus with the word "Cadacus" included in the file name.  Below is an example of the license files:

 7.  If using EDI, download and import the EDI Translation file.

  • Download the EDI translation file here.  This file contains translation information for supported documents for various ANSI versions.  Save the downloaded zipped file and extract it to some easily accessible folder on the SYSPRO application server.
  • Launch the EDI Translation Import menu:

  • Browse to or enter the full path to the downloaded EDI translation text file using the drive letter as the SERVER sees it (not a mapped drive), as in the following example:

Click "Start Import" to run the import of all the document translation data.  From this import, a file named EDITRN.DAT will be created in the DATA directory.  The file is not company specific and is available to all companies using the DATA directory .

Note:  If this step is not done, a "File not found" (EDITRN.DAT) error will occur when attempting to run or configure some EDI transactions.
