Hi,

From what I know here are the steps

step 1 : you have to have a shared folder on your server

step 2: run a background schedule job on your system for /sapsll/spl_upload_ixml with proper parameters pointing to application server share fodler

step 3: include spl re-index steps to the job

step 3a. you can have a flag return file to app server (using abap) if requried

step 4: have a batch or shell job on app server to move spl to a different folder other than load folder

cheers

Also, Step "1a" would include a UNIX (or other type) script to go retrieve the XML file from the MK Data FTP site for the customer. MK Data does not push data into customer systems anymore so you must retrieve the file from them.
