Overview
The F9 Interface creates the ability to take GL data and populate the necessary tables read by F9. When
journals are updated in X3, the F9 interface must be executed to refresh the F9 tables.
Note: Please refer to document INS-X3-F9-Interface-XA09-Vx for questions about the installation
process. This is required if you create new folders and want to use F9 in that folder.
After selecting the F9 Interface-V6, you have the ability to select which ledger will be processed from X3
to F9. By default and generally this is the legal ledger type as shown below.
Once the F9 interface runs, data is written to the F9 tables, which is then read by the Datapump. The
interface log if successful with journals will look like the following:
If the information does not look correct, then selecting the Edit option, as shown above, will allow you to
individually change values related to the datapump.ini file.
Select Start and it should run to completion with no errors and the following message will be shown.
If errors have occurred, these errors must be resolved. Rather than seeing the message below, a
message that says, "There has been an error running the DataPump". These errors must be resolved
prior to continuing with the F9 Financial reporting. Some causes of common errors are shown at the end
of this document.
No valid datapump profile exists on the PC The F9 Reset Parameters and F9 Copy Setup to
PC utilities have not been run. Generally, re-
running these applications for the folder that you
are trying to interface to F9, will correct the issues
shown here. However, if you have manually made
changes to the datapump.ini or X3V6.ldi file, these
files should be copied to other filenames prior to re-
running these applications as these applications
will create new datapump.ini and X3V6.ldi files.
Please refer to the INS-X3-F9-Interface-XA09-Vx
on how to execute these functions.

have been written to the F9 tables. records in the X3V6 of the F9 interface. The value
of written records will always be zero for this table.
For the other two tables XBF9BALV6 and
XBF9SGDV6, there will be records written to F9. If
these two tables show zero records, re-run the F9
Interface application (GESXBF9) and verify there
are no errors that occur in that process.
Balances in F9 are missing certain journals. Make sure journals are not waiting to be posted
through the journal status monitor.
