Supported Diamond Inventory files
TradeLink can work either with automatically generated export files (at least once
a day) or it can access your database directly.
Automatically exported Comma delimited file (CSV) with headers
Automatically exported Excel with headers
Automatically exported Tab delimited file with headers
(Read-only) ODBC and OleDB compatible database source such as Oracle, Microsoft
SQL, MS Access. You must provide the connection string and SQL Query.
The windows service user must have access to your diamond inventory file. So if
you use a file (not database access) then you cannot provide a mapped network drive.
You must provide a UNC path that is accessible by user (default is localsystem).
You can change the user in the windows service settings.
Uploading Certificates with TradeLink
You can also use TradeLink to upload certificate and 3D files, such as Sarin, OGI
or GEM files. You can do this in combination with uploading your stock, or choose
only to upload certificates images. The program will run the background and make
sure that all certificate and 3D files in a certain folder are uploaded to the website.
