What is Business-to-Business (B2B) ?
The B2B solution provides for the automated export of Elia metering data in .CSV or .XML format via the sFTP communication protocol. This is a perfect solution for users wanting to automate imports of Elia data to their own software or needing to process large volumes of data.
Features:
- sFTP
- .CSV or .XML format
- IT upgrade required to establish the connection via the above protocol and to process/import files
- Archive managed by the user's system
SFTP installation procedure
When the SFTP protocol is selected, Elia creates a special structure within a server environment. The EVMS user ID supplied by Elia will be linked to the default directory within this structure. Users must connect to the server using the following settings:
- Protocol: SFTP (do not forget the "S")
- URL: files.elia.be (do not forget the "S")
- Port: 22 (default for SFTP)
Tests can be carried out with other software, such as FileZilla (free and easy to use). Apply the settings shown above.
