Understanding Interoperability Transaction Setup

External systems can use a variety of methods to send data to the interoperability interface tables. One method is to write the data to a flat file. If you use this method, the system converts the flat file to the interface table. For the system to convert data from the flat file to the interface table, you must identify the transaction using this information:

• Transaction type, which is a unique description that identifies the transaction.

• A direction indicator (inbound or outbound).

• Record types, which indicate the sort of information that is exchanged between JD Edwards EnterpriseOne and external systems.

• Tables, which are the sources or destinations of the transaction.

You can set a processing option to start the transaction process automatically when the conversion completes successfully. The transaction process copies the data from the interface tables to the application tables. JD Edwards EnterpriseOne applications can access the data from these tables.
