Package psdi.app.integration Description

The Integration package includes Mbos related to exchanging data with other systems. This data transfer is accomplished using the MIG utility. When data has been exchanged via the MIG, the systems are identified on the business object, and subsequent updates performed by the business object examine the system identifiers and use the indicators stored on the MXCollab table to determine what kinds of further updates should or should not take place.

Package Specification

The Mbos included in the Integration package are:

• MXCollabRef -- Master table defining the process IDs (PCID) used by Integration. Each PCID has a specific use in a particular area of the system (Receiving, Invoicing, and so forth). MXCollabRef includes a brief description of each PCID and identifies which area of the system it pertains to.

• MXCollab -- Many tables in the system contain the "Owner System ID" attribute, which identifies the originating source of the data. For example, if an external system adds an Item to this system, the Item record would be flagged with the ID of that external system.

  Various processes are responsible for comparing the Owner System IDs of two different tables to determine whether they have the same owner, who has an external owner, and so forth. The action to take depending on the PCID and combination of Owner System IDs is stored in the MXCollab table. The action will be either "normal" processing or special processing. Exactly what constitutes "normal" and special is different for each PCID.
