9 Processing Interoperability for Product Data Management

This chapter contains the following topics:

9.1 Processing Outbound Interoperability for Product Data Management

This section provides an overview of outbound interoperability for Product Data Management, lists a prerequisite, and discusses how to:

  • Set selected processing options for Work Center Revision (P3006).

  • Set processing options for Workday Calendar (P00071).

  • Set selected processing options for Enter/Change Bill (P3002).

  • Set selected processing options for Work With Routing Master (P3003).

9.1.1 Understanding Outbound Interoperability for Product Data Management

You might send transactions that you create or change in Product Data Management to another system. For example, if the organization uses hand-held scanning devices, you can use interoperability transactions to update the database that is used by the scanning devices.

To process outbound interoperability in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Product Data Management:

  1. Specify a transaction type in the processing options of the originating programs listed in the table that follows these steps.

  2. Enter or change a transaction using any of the originating programs.

    The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Product Data Management system calls a business function that writes records to the corresponding transaction table listed in the table that follows these steps. For example, when you run the Work Center Revision program (P3006) with the interoperability processing option turned on, the system places a copy of updated work center data in the Work Center Transaction File table (F30006Z1).

    The same business function calls a special subsystem API that sends a message to the subsystem kernel running on the server. The subsystem kernel adds a record to the Subsystem Job Master table (F986113).

  3. Create a custom UBE or function to process the data from the transaction tables in such a way that it can be used by the external system.

  4. Use the Data Export Controls program (P0047) to specify the custom UBE or function for the transaction type you specified in the processing options of the originating program.

    The system stores this information in the Data Export Control table (F0047).

  5. Run the Interoperability Generic Outbound Subsystem UBE program (R00460).

    The Interoperability Generic Outbound Subsystem UBE program fetches the F986113 record and retrieves the name and version of the custom UBE from the F0047 table. The Interoperability Generic Outbound Subsystem UBE program passes information about the order to the custom UBE. The custom UBE then retrieves the records from the transaction tables and processes that information.

You can send transactions to an external system from these programs in Product Data Management:

  • Work Center Revision (P3006)

  • Work Day Calendar (P00071)

  • Enter/Change Bill (P3002)

  • Work With Routing Master (P3003)

Originating Program Transaction Type Transaction Table
Work Center Revision (P3006) JDEWC Work Center Transaction File (F30006Z1)
Workday Calendar (P00071) JDEWDC Work Day Calendar Transaction File (F0007Z1)
Enter/Change Bill (P3002) JDEBOM Bill of Material Transaction File (F3002Z1)
Work With Routing Master (P3003) JDEROU Routing Transactions File (F3003Z1)

9.1.2 Prerequisite

Define the data export controls for the type of outbound transaction. The system uses data export controls to determine the batch programs or business processes that third parties supply for use in processing transactions.

See Setting Up Data Export Controls.

9.1.3 Setting Selected Processing Options for Work Center Revision (P3006)

This section lists only the processing options for the Work Center Revision program (P3006) that are specific to outbound interoperability.

Note:

We provide transaction type JDEWC for work center transactions.

2. Enter a '1' to write before images for Outbound change transactions.

Specify whether the system creates a record of the work center transaction before it was changed, in addition to a record of the work center transaction after the change. The system creates these records in the Work Center Transaction File table (F30006Z1) when outbound interoperability processing is enabled. Values are:

Blank: Write the work center record only after it has been changed; do not write a before image record.

1: Write two work center records: one before the work center transaction is changed and one after the work center transaction is changed.

9.1.4 Setting Processing Options for Workday Calendar (P00071)

This section lists all the processing options for the Workday Calendar program (P00071).

9.3 Reviewing and Revising Interoperability Transactions for Product Data Management

This section provides an overview of reviewing and revising inbound interoperability transactions for Product Data Management, lists the forms used to review and revise interoperability transactions for Product Data Management, and discusses how to:

  • Set common processing options for revision programs.

  • Set additional processing options for Bill Of Material Transaction Revisions (P3002Z1).

9.3.1 Understanding Reviewing and Revising Interoperability Transactions for Product Data Management

Running one of the transaction processes, such as the Work Center Transaction Revisions, often identifies one or more inbound transactions that contain invalid transactions. For example, a work center might have an invalid location branch. In that case, the program cannot add that work center to the Work Center Master File table (F30006). Instead, the program sends an error message to the Employee Work Center indicating the transaction number for the transaction in error.

Use the inquiry menu selections to add, change, or delete transactions containing errors. Then run the transaction process again. Continue to make corrections and rerun the transaction process until the program runs without errors.

You can also use the inquiry menu selects to review and revise outbound transactions.

9.4 Purging Interoperability Transactions for Product Data Management

This section provides an overview of purging interoperability transactions and discusses how to purge interoperability transactions.

9.4.1 Understanding Purging Interoperability Transactions

When data becomes obsolete or when you need more disk space, you can use the Purge Interoperability Table programs to remove data from the interoperability tables.

Product Data Management contains purge options for both inbound and outbound transactions. Use these purges to remove data from the corresponding interoperability tables:

  • Purge Work Center Transactions (R30006Z1P)

  • Purge Work Day Calendar Transactions (R0007Z1P)

  • Purge BOM Transactions (R3002Z1P)

  • Purge Routing Transactions (R3003Z1P)

For records in the Processing Log table (F0046) that are marked as processed, the program purges the associated transactions in the corresponding interoperability tables, as well as the records in the F0046 table. If the records in the F0046 table are not marked as processed, the program does not purge any records.
