UniGroup Upload Setup and Administration

 

UniGroup works in conjunction with MoversSuite Queue Service and MoversSuite API Service (Standard XML Pipeline) to transfer data between the two systems automatically or through manual options available through the Tools Menu.

 

The following table lists the administrative setting needed to create an environment to upload data to the UniGroup mainframe.
