Infor LX & BPCS Tip of the Week: ION Tip – Pausing Receiving and Sending of Messages

If it is necessary to pause sending and receiving of BOD messages on your IBM i during your month-end process, it is best practice for the document flows that point to the IBM i to guarantee delivery of BOD messages. Once the month-end process has been completed, you will need to Resume the ‘Receiving’ and ‘Sending’ Active Connection Points so your documents will continue to process.

Pausing Sending messages

To pause sending messages to ION:

  1. Select Connect > Active Connection Points.
  2. Select the connection point that must be paused for sending messages.
  3. In the Sending Paused column, click Pause. The page is automatically refreshed and the Sending Paused checkbox is selected. A Resume button becomes available. 

Sending of messages by this connection point is stopped. No new messages are picked up from the source application's outbox. The connection point still processes messages that were already picked up from the outbox. This action can take some time in the background even though the sending status of the connection point is already changed to Paused. Any new message, that was published from an application after the sending of its connection point is paused, has not yet entered ION and is not yet available in ION OneView.

Pausing Receiving messages

To pause receiving messages from ION:

  1. Select Connect > Active Connection Points.
  2. Select the connection point that must be paused for receiving messages.
  3. In the Receiving Paused column, click Pause. The page is automatically refreshed and the Receiving Paused checkbox is selected. A Resume button becomes available.

Receiving messages by the connection point is paused.  No new messages are delivered to the destination application's inbox. All new incoming messages to this application are parked in its incoming pending messages queue inside ION.  The connection point still processes messages that were already picked up from the incoming pending messages queue. This action may take some time in the background even though the receiving status of the connection point is already changed to Paused.

Resuming sending / receiving messages

To resume sending or receiving messages from ION:

  1. Select Connect > Active Connection Points.
  2. Select the connection point that must be resumed for message processing.
  3. Select one of these actions:
    1. To resume the pickup of messages from an application outbox, click Resume in the Sending Paused column.
    2. To resume the delivery of messages to an application inbox, click Resume in the Receiving Paused column.

The page is automatically refreshed and, depending on the selected action, the Sending Paused checkbox or the Receiving Paused checkbox is cleared. A Pause button is now available.

Infor LX remembers certain key values, such as item number, salesperson,

or container, in your workstation memory as you process information in certain

programs. You can assign one of the following values to each field:

 

0  -Infor LX automatically retrieves this value from remember key memory. Infor LX updates this value on a continual basis.

 

1  -Infor LX automatically retrieves the value you specify in Display Remembered Keys, SYS080. It does not update the value from any other program.

 

2  -Infor LX does not retrieve or update remembered key fields. Use the Display Remembered Keys program, SYS080, to set up remembered keys.

Two big sources of inefficiencies in manufacturing are paper and spreadsheets. I know that you love ‘em, but they are the cause of more problems than you probably realize. Think of how long it takes you to get paper based data into the hands of those who can do something valuable with the data. Are you capturing all of the information correctly? Timely? What about those spreadsheets? Can everyone access that information across your organization? Is that data married with all of the related data regarding your operations to give your executive and middle management the information they need when they need it?

Make your shop floor paperless and put in place systems that talk to one another and automatically pull and push data to and from your ERP so that you can look in one place for all the information you need to run your business effectively.

If you’re not doing this today, you might as well be burning money.

Table Timestamp Definitions (ttadv4136m000)

Use this session to define timestamps for Infor LN tables. A timestamp is an additional column that stores the date and time of the last change for each record.

Timestamps are utilized by features like the extraction logic of CPM Enterprise Analytics. They enable CPM to perform incremental data extractions. For example, CPM can use the timestamps to extract records that were changed during the last week in a weekly extraction process.

To Create Timestamps...

Operations: To absorb the cost of cost items into specific projects, you'll need to handle them as customized items. However, cost items cannot directly be defined as customized items. Customized items must be physical, either manufactured or purchased.

That said, it's still possible to absorb cost items into a project, although indirectly. Here's how:

  1. Set Up Ledger Account: First, create a new ledger account in session tfgld0508m000 and set the type to "PCS" (project) in the operations management integrations. This account will be used for matching and approving purchase orders for cost items.

  2. Create and Activate Projects: Ensure that the necessary projects are created and set to active status.

  3. Purchasing Cost Items...
