Understanding Orchestration Cross-References

Orchestration cross-references (hereafter referred to as cross-references) are key/value data pairs used in the orchestration system. You add a cross-reference to associate a JD Edwards EnterpriseOne value, such as an Address Book number, with the equivalent value in a third-party application. For example, a third-party application that is integrated with JD Edwards EnterpriseOne might contain a field called Client Number that equates to the Customer Number field in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne. To share this data between the two systems, you create a cross-reference record that associates Client Number with Customer Number.

The Business Service Cross Reference program (P952000) is the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne program that enables you to manage cross-references.

You also use P952000 to create orchestration cross-reference and white list records for an Internet of Things (IoT) configuration with the EnterpriseOne AIS Server. When creating these types of records, use the AIS category described below.

In JD Edwards EnterpriseOne, you can define a cross-references in one of these categories:

• Code

  A code reference pertains to static items in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne, such as a field or user-defined code. For example, Address Book Number is a code reference. You can use P952000 to add, customize, or delete code references.

• Key

  A key reference contains transactional information that is added during orchestration runtime. For example, a key code might map the sales order number 9876 in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne to the equivalent sales order number in a third-party application. You can use P952000 to add, modify, or delete key references.

• AIS

  An AIS reference is used to define key-value data pairs for an IoT orchestration cross-reference or white list. The records that you define in P952000 must match the key-value data pairs defined in the cross-reference and white list XMLs. For more information about IoT orchestration cross-reference and white lists, see "Configuring Cross-Reference XMLs" and "Configuring White List XMLs" in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools Orchestrator Guide for Studio Version 8 and Prior.
