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.

Role-Based Security introduces Role type profiles and allows combining the use of Role profiles with the traditional LX User type security profile functionality. The new Role type profile can be defined to allow or deny access to All Products, Attention Key, Products, Programs, and Transaction Effects. Facility, Warehouse, and Company securities are still defined solely by the User profile settings and are not affected by the assignment of a Role. Where applicable, the Role authority is displayed alongside the User authority on the security profile maintenance screens making it easy to see where there are differences in authority between the User and the assigned Roles. 

When Users are assigned to Roles, security access in LX becomes a combination of authorities granted or denied by the Role, plus any User Exceptions. User Exceptions override authorities set by the Roles. A User can also be assigned to more than one Role.

Tips: LN | Baan

If you do not wish to define a detailed mapping to various ledger accounts for specific integration transactions, you can map the corresponding integration document type to a default account. All the transactions of the integration document type for which an account cannot be determined based on the mapping scheme details, are posted to the default account.

 

The mapping of an integration document type to a default account is direct, without the need for element groups and mapping elements. No distinction is made on any of the transaction details.

 

Default accounts can be used in two ways:

  • Instead of a detailed mapping to various ledger accounts. All the transactions are posted to the same account. For example, all warehouse receipts are posted to the Inventory ledger account, without any distinction.
  • In addition to a detailed mapping. If a transaction cannot be mapped based on the detailed mapping scheme, it is posted to the default account.

A cluster is a group of one or more warehouses in a particular geographical area. You can plan an item by cluster (geographical area).

To enable this, you can set up multiple plan items for one item. You always define one plan item without a cluster indication and multiple plan items with a cluster indication. A plan item with a cluster is called a clustered plan item, and a plan item without cluster is called the non-clustered plan item.

The plan items in the clusters can be supplied not only by distribution, but also through purchase and production. In this way, you can, for example, plan local purchasing in a cluster (geographical area). You can also plan supply from multiple sources.
