| PRE-REQUISITE | This service requires that the Microsoft .NET v1.1 Redistributable Runtime is installed on your system. This is a free download from Microsoft and is available via your Windows Update service, or from this link. Depending on your machine’s configuration you may be required to re-boot after installing this update prior to continuing. |
| PRIOR VERSIONS | It is recommended that you first un-install any prior versions of the LeadsOnline Secure Export Service before installing this version. To do so, go to "Settings", "Control Panel", "Add/Remove Programs", and scroll down the list of items to the "SecureLeadsExportSetup" row. Click on this row and then click the "Remove" button that appears. |
| CREATE FOLDER | This program monitors for files that appear in the "C:\in" folder. Create this folder on your hard drive if it does not exist. If you cannot use this folder for your exports, see the section below on configuring the service. |
| DOWNLOAD | If you will be transmitting files with "*.txt" extensions, click here. If you will be transmitting files with "*.xml" extensions, click here. When the dialog box appears choose "Save" and select a convenient location on your hard drive. |
| EXTRACT | Double-click on the file downloaded in the prior step. Extract the files into a convenient folder on your hard drive. |
| INSTALL | Locate the "setup.exe" program in the folder from the prior step. Double-click it to begin the installation. It is recommended that you accept all defaults during the installation process. |
| START SERVICE | You can start the Secure Export service in one of two ways. Either
|
| TEST | If you have a small test file with the proper file extension ready to upload, you can now place it into the monitored folder ("C:\in").Within approximately one minute (depending on the size of the file) the file should be deleted, which indicates a successful upload to the LeadsOnline web site. This completes the installation. IMPORTANT: It is critical that the files being transmitted are named properly. If you have not obtained file naming information, please contact LeadsOnline Technical Support at 972-361-0900 or at support@leadsonline.com prior to uploading. |
| TROUBLE- SHOOTING | If the test file remains in the "C:\in" for several minutes, it is an indication that the Secure Export service was not able to upload the file. Check the following:
|
| CONFIGURE | Use this section ONLY if you cannot use the default folder location "C:\in" to place the files you which to transmit. Warning: The configuration file is an XML file that must be well-formed in order for the Secure Export service to run properly. Use great care when modifying it, and always make a back-up copy of it. If you accepted the defaults during installation, the configuration file is located at "C:\Program Files\Leadsonline\SecureLeadsExportSetup\SecureLeadsExport.exe.config". Open the file with Notepad and change the value of the "MonitorPath" setting from "C:\in" to the desired local folder or network share name. Save the file and re-start the LeadsOnline service. You may also note that the "MonitorFileExtension" setting will be set to either "*.txt" or "*.xml" depending upon which version you downloaded (this is the only real difference between the two downloads). Note that the program will not recognize any other file extensions except these. |
