Introduction to the ReflexBlue Import/Export Service

The ReflexBlue Import/Export Service is a locally installed Windows application that allows you to automatically import and export (synchronize) data. You use this service to exchange data between your local environment and the Reflex Cloud.

Installation and configuration

You install the ReflexBlue Import/Export Service on your own PC or on a PC in your network. It’s recommended to use a dedicated PC for this, for example a compact mini PC like an Intel NUC that is always on. This way, synchronizations keep running continuously, without depending on your own PC or presence. This dedicated PC must remain on site.

After installation, you open the user interface of the ReflexBlue Import/Export Service on the local PC via a web browser. Usually, you do this at http://localhost:5001/. You can then create synchronizations.

Once you have created synchronizations, you can monitor them via the user interface.

Supported synchronizations

The ReflexBlue Import/Export Service supports the following synchronizations:

• ReflexBlue Import: Allows you to locally configure import definitions to upload files to the ReflexBlue Application Server for import into your ReflexBlue administration.
• ReflexBlue Export: Allows you to locally configure export definitions to download exported files from your ReflexBlue administration from the ReflexBlue Application Server.
• Reflex Harmony Accountancy: Allows you to set up a connection between Reflex 3000 and external accounting packages such as Exact Online and Multivers Online for the automatic exchange of accounting files. This synchronization is handled via our Reflex Harmony integration platform.
• Reflex 3000 PEPPOL E-Invoicing: Allows you to set up a connection between Reflex 3000 and the PEPPOL network for automatically sending invoices to the PEPPOL network. This synchronization is also handled via our Reflex Harmony integration platform.

Automatic updates

The ReflexBlue Import/Export Service regularly checks if a new version of the software is available. If an update is found, it will be downloaded and installed automatically. No manual actions are required.

Flexibility and scalability

You can use multiple ReflexBlue Import/Export Services within one or more administrations. This allows you to synchronize files from different locations or user environments simultaneously.

Important notes:

• A single ReflexBlue Import/Export Service can perform synchronizations for multiple administrations.
• Within one administration, multiple ReflexBlue Import/Export Services can be active at the same time, for example at different locations.

Troubleshooting

If you experience problems with the ReflexBlue Import/Export Service or with created synchronizations, check the messages in the service log. These messages help you find a solution.

You can also monitor ReflexBlue Import and Export synchronizations via the Imports/Exports overview screen in the ReflexBlue Desktop Client. In the log messages in the Import/Export details screen, you may find important warnings or error messages indicating what went wrong.
