Flexi2XML is a command-line tool for converting data between formats and for batch uploading to ABRA Flexi. On Windows, it is downloaded separately; on macOS and Linux, it is included with the ABRA Flexi installation.
Where to get the tool
Operating system | Where to find it |
Microsoft Windows | Standalone file flexibee2xml-cli.exe for download — built from version 2017.2. |
macOS | Included in the ABRA Flexi installation package, inside the application in |
Linux | Included in the ABRA Flexi installation package in |
ℹ️ The name of the application package varies depending on the age of the installation. If you can't find the tool at the specified path, search your disk for the file flexibee2xml — inside the package, it is always located in the Contents/Resources folder.
Verifying that the tool works
The tool will display its version and a list of all available switches if you run it with the parameter --help:
/Applications/FlexiBee.app/Contents/Resources/flexibee2xml --help
The tool's version corresponds to the version of ABRA Flexi it was installed with.
⚠️ On Windows, there are two variants — flexibee2xml and flexibee2xml-cli. The first is compiled as a graphical application and does not open a command-line window; it is tidier, but does not display error messages. For debugging imports, therefore, use the -cli variant.
📝 The standalone build for Windows comes from version 2017.2, so it may not recognize switches added later. flexibee2xml-cli --help will show you which switches your copy recognizes.
