Configure the EnterpriseOne XML Connector
The EnterpriseOne XML Connector transmits data among components and the EnterpriseOne software. When configuring this connector, elements are specified, such as include path, enterprise system parameters, and system username and password.
To configure the EnterpriseOne XML Connector, complete the following steps in Advanced Inventory Platform Manager.
Note:If you are using version 9.2.4.3 or later of Tools, see 64-bit Tools Setup below.
-
Go to Admin > Configuration > Connector Settings.
-
From the list of connectors, select the EnterpriseOne XML Connector.
-
If the system interfaces with multiple enterprise environments, select the environment for which to configure the connector.
-
If you are on a Advanced Inventory Cloud implementation, for Gateway, select the gateway to use.Step InformationNote: This field only displays for Advanced Inventory Cloud customers.
-
For Include path, enter the location of the header files for the EnterpriseOne business functions.Step InformationNote:The system configuration determines whether this path is a network path or a local path.
-
The path for a network location must include the server name, for example, \\enterprise1\B7\PROD733\Include.
-
The path for a local folder includes a drive letter, for example, c:\B7\PROD733\Include. The local folder is local to the server and not the computer. Additionally, the Windows Service Account must have read access to the deployment server files for all environments.
Step InformationNote:To avoid potential problems, use the UNC naming convention. UNC consists of three parts: a server name, a share name, and an optional file path. These are combined using backslashes, as follows: \\ servername\sharename\filepath. -
-
For Host name/address, enter the name or IP address of the computer serving as host to the system to which XML requests are sent.Step InformationNote:This value must be specified based on the particular configuration. For example, "10.255.255.255" indicates that 10.255.255.255 is the IP address of the host computer.
-
For Host port, enter the network port on which the host computer communicates with the server.Step InformationNote:This port number is specified in the JDE install.
-
For Time-out (sec), enter the amount of time (in seconds) to wait for a reply from the web service when sending a request.Step InformationNote:A default value is provided; however, it can be changed. Entry in this numeric field can range from 5 to 300 seconds. Advanced Inventory recommends a starting value of 120 seconds.
-
For User ID, enter the user identification that the EnterpriseOne system uses when managing profiles and permissions.
-
For Password, enter the EnterpriseOne password of the user seeking to use the program.
-
For JDE environment, enter the name of the EnterpriseOne environment that the connector uses, for example, DEMOB73. This value must match the enterprise system settings.Step InformationNote:If you are configuring multiple environments for this installation, this value will change for each environment configuration page.
-
For Use JDE sessions, enable this to specify that sessions are allocated by processing threads, thereby more efficiently managing calls between the system and the enterprise software.Step InformationNote:This setting is required for tool releases E1 8.94 and later.Expected ResultResult: A session is established on each processing thread. Each subsequent call on the thread is sent to the established EnterpriseOne session, saving on session initiation overhead and improving performance. The system monitors the status of each session and references the session idle limit option to stop sessions when limits are reached. This option is selected by default; however, it can be changed.
-
For Maximum number of calls per sessions, enter the maximum number of requests allowed to use each session before the connector closes it and creates a new session.Step InformationNote:A value of zero (0) is no limit. Advanced Inventory recommends a starting value of 1000 calls.
-
For Role, enter the EnterpriseOne role used to sign on to the enterprise system.Step InformationNote:Advanced Inventory recommends using *ALL so the user uses all available roles assigned to the users.
-
For Session idle limit (sec), enter the amount of time (in seconds) that the session is allowed to be idle.Step InformationNote: If the session has not had any requests processed within this amount of time, the session "times out" and is closed. The next time the session is requested to process a call, the system establishes a new session so that the call is not lost.Step InformationNote:A default value is provided; however, it can be changed. Entry in this numeric field can range from 1 to 99999 seconds. This option can be disabled by leaving this field blank, which means that Mobile Enterprise Platform does not override the default set by the enterprise system.Note:Advanced Inventory recommends a start value of 3600 seconds, or 1 hour, to override the JDE default session idle value. This prevents timeouts on a system where gaps in transaction processing occur.
-
For Log request/response documents, enable this to specify that request/response documents are logged to the Logging folder in the installation.Step InformationNote:This field should only be enabled when troubleshooting API issues, and typically only when requested by the Advanced Inventory team. The resulting log file name format is EnterpriseOne XML_GUID.txt.
-
For Support Unicode, specify whether or not the installation of EnterpriseOne XML supports Unicode.Step InformationNote:This applies to EnterpriseOne 8.9 or later.
-
For Use Advanced Inventory tracking ID for GUID parameter, indicate whether or not the function caller program should generate a GUID value when a business function contains a specific parameter (szGuidUniqueID_GUID) for the 32-character unique identifier.Step InformationNote:This functionality supports FDA 21 Part 11 auditing requirements.Expected ResultResult: The generated value is passed to the enterprise system.
-
For Buffer size, specify the field used to configure the size of the buffer that accepts the returned data.Step InformationNote:The size of call outputs is unknown so the buffer size may need to be increased.
-
Select Save.
