Ove,
Thanks for the info that you shared. Is your Java program writing to the
QIF format or the OFX format?
David - my apologies, I never noticed your reply to my original email last
month! I'm happy to read that it should work.
I'm still running GNC 3.8 from a mid-march build on my WIndows system. I
have yet to get GNC, AqBanking 6.x and Citi's OFX API to all play well with
each other. I am able to get my data from Citi by using an older AqB
release that I have running under Cygwin to pull the data from the Citi's
web server. I have found that in order to import the files that are
download into GNC that I need to make one file for each account at Citi (by
running aqbanking-cli for one account at a time). I then strip out the 1st
dozen or so lines in the response received. I have managed to script most
of this so it's not nearly as cumbersome as it may appear, but needing to
enter the password once for each account at Citi is annoying as is needing
to import multiple files into GNC instead of one consolidated file. I tried
to eliminate the repeating password step with the Expect tool, but I could
not get it to work in the Cygwin environment.
Unfortunately, the other financial institutions where I have multiple
accounts don't even support OFX (or at least if they do, the info is not
available on OFXhome.net) so I don't know if the issues I have run into
are caused by Citi, GNC, or AqB. These issues are not so annoying that I
would go back to Quicken! LOL I may mess around with trying to automate
my calls to aqbanking-cli using PowerShell so that I can take Cygwin out of
the mix and/or just try moving over to my Ubuntu system for GNC.
- Stu
