Using the Incremental Data Publish of Currently Effective Data Process (VENDOR_SYNC_EFF)

Design Pattern	Message Name	Subscription Name
PeopleCode subscribe	VENDOR_SYNC	SupplierSyncEff
Full data replication	VENDOR_SYNC_EFF	None

This flowchart illustrates how the Incremental Publish of Currently Effective Data process enables you to publish supplier data incrementally to external systems:

Code for Incremental Publish Process for Currently Effective Data

The following code calls the subscription process:

Declare Function process_effdt_msg PeopleCode FUNCLIB_EOEIP.EFFDT_MSG_PC Field⇒
Formula;
process_effdt_msg("VENDOR_SYNC_EFF", False);

As with the Incremental Publish process, during the save time of this process, the Supplier Information component publishes a VENDOR_SYNC message that contains effective-dated information.

For third parties that can handle effective-dated data, messages are received and processed using the SupplierSync subscription method. For third parties that cannot handle effective-dated data, a subscription process called SupplierSyncEff can be invoked for local publications. It has been set up on the message-generating side, and it makes a call to a shared function.

The common function determines if the data is related to the current effective-dated row and, if so, it copies the data to the VENDOR_SYNC_EFF message and publishes it.

If the data has future effective dates, then the information is written to the Delay table (EO_EFFDELAY). A PeopleSoft Application Engine process publishes the data that resides in delay tables as they become current.

Note:

Third parties that cannot handle effective-dated data can subscribe only to the VENDOR_SYNC_EFF message.

Perform the following steps to run the Effective Date Publish Application Engine process:

1. Define the publish rule for the message on the Full Table Publish Rules page.

2. Create the run control for the Effective Date Publish process on the Effective Date Publish Process page.
