IDF: Defining the Attributes for a New Object

Attributes are the fields you define in your System i file.

You can begin by building your attribute list in Integrator by synchronizing the object with the host. This process reads the file definition from the System i and builds your list of attributes. The synchronize process will automatically run and read the definitions for the first occurrence of this file name within the library list. You can repeat this process manually multiple times if you change the file definition on the host by using the ‘Synchronize with Host’ option. However, the synchronization process will not recognize changed field names.

Non on key field attributes: The integrator requires a unique key for each object. If the host file already has a key, the synchronization process will automatically identify fields as part of the key as well as add a sequence number to multiple key parts. If the file does not have a unique key, you must either create a keyed logical file or identify the key manually. Key fields are the default sort order for all list views for an object.

Tips:  LX | BPCS | M3

Web Services can be very helpful for LX users to obtain updated information directly from the source, for example:

  • LX users can use a web service to request a stock check on an item for which they are going to issue a purchase order. Users can get item availability and updated pricing before placing the order.
  • LX users can also use a web service to get real time shipping charges from UPS, Fed Ex, etc. Once the user selects the appropriate freight charge, it can be added to the customer order while the order is being placed over the phone.

BPCS/LX Tip of the Week: At a Loss?

Loss of Key Experienced Personnel– More and more of the original “super users” have changed jobs, or retired.

As a result, decisions are made that may cause unintended problems. 

What is the best way to deal with this BEFORE the problem occurs? Read our blog to find out:
