How To Install the Routines for Sending and Receiving Files

EBS provides several reports and files to our clients each day. To automate the process of receiving these files from EBS (or sending files to EBS), we have created a batch program that hides the details. This batch program will receive the files from EBS and decrypt them or encrypt and send the files to EBS.
