This section provides an overview of some of the configuration and startup tasks that most developers will need to perform.
For further information see Broker compatibility and then consult the installation guide for your integration broker.
For further information see Broker compatibility.
For further information, see the Data Handler Guide.
You must install the QXtend and the Q/LinQ MQSeries MOM products from QAD. These do not need to be on the same machine as the adapter.
See Installing and configuring the connector for a description of what and where you must install.
You must define metadata for:
This sections below list the tasks you must perform to configure an installed connector for QAD MFG/PRO:
Connectors have two types of configuration properties: standard configuration properties and connector-specific configuration properties. Some of these properties have default values that you do not need to change. You may need to set the values of some of these properties before running the connector.
You use Connector Configurator to configure connector properties:
You must configure the connector to operate with one of the following integration brokers:
When you configure connector properties for the adapter for QAD MFG/PRO, make sure that:
To configure the URL of the Qxtend web service:
To configure the data handler:
For more information on data handler processing, see QAD MFG/PRO data handler.
Install a database trigger for each MFG/PRO application that you want to configure for connector event processing. You install triggers using the DataSync module supplied by QAD. For further information, see QAD documentation (External Interface Guide -- Data Synchronization).
You use QDoc schemas to create business objects.For information and procedures on downloading QDoc schemas from QAD MFG/PRO, see Generating business object definitions for event processing: step-by-step or Generating TLOs for request processing: step-by-step. You cannot start or run the connector without first downloading and installing QDoc schemas. For further information, see Installing the adapter and related files .
You use an XML object discovery agent (ODA) to create business objects. The six-step automated process is described in Creating or modifying business objects. Then you must add these definitions, along with the meta-objects, to a list of those supported by the connector. For further information, see Specifying supported business object definitions.
