Uploading an EWC Text File to the Hubbell Web Site

To submit a rebate request to Hubbell, you need to upload the rebate request data generated by the Hubbell Customer Sales Rebates Report to the Hubbell web site.

When you run the report, the system places a text file containing the rebate request data in your server's msg-out directory. Access the Hubbell web site, www.hubbellnet.com, and copy the file from this directory to a folder on your PC or your desktop. Then, on the Hubbell web site, upload the file for immediate processing. After the file processes successfully, you can delete the original text file from the msg-out directory on your server.

Uploading an EWC text file includes the following procedures:

Copy the text file from your server's msg-out directory to your PC.
Upload the text file to the Hubbell web site.
Remove the text file from your server's msg-out directory.

To copy the EWC text file from your server's msg-out directory to your PC:

On your PC, click Start > Run.
In the Open field, enter the IP address of the msg-out directory on your Eclipse server and click OK.

For example, you might enter \\eclipseservername\msg-out.

Find the EWC text file and copy it to a directory or the desktop on your PC.

The file name starts with WC and contains the date range for which the report was run.

For example, the file name might be WC 02-01-04 to 02-29-04.txt.

Close the directory.
