Creating a connection point - HxGN EAM - 12.0 - Administration & Configuration - Hexagon

Create one connection point for each instance of the application.

1. In ION Desk, select Connect > Model > Connection points. A list of existing connection points is shown.

2. Click New and specify Infor Application as the connection type.

3. Specify this information:

   Name - Specify a name for this application instance. This is the last portion of the logical ID.

   Logical ID - Specify the logical ID.

   Tenant - Specify the tenant used for your EAM instance.

   Refer to Setting up logical IDs, tenants, and accounting entities in HxGN EAM to determine how the Logical ID and Tenant are defined in your product.

   Logical ID Type - Specify the type that you want to use to construct the middle part of the logical ID. For example, if the logical ID type is eam and the name is instance01 then the logical ID is: lid://infor.eam.instance01. The logical ID type must contain alphanumeric characters, an underscore (_), or a hyphen (-). Do not include capital letters or spaces.

   Database Type - Specify Microsoft SQL Server or ORACLE.

   Database - Select one of these configurations for the database address:

   • Basic - Specify properties for the database. The properties that you specify depend on the database type that you selected. The URL to connect to the database is built automatically.

   • Advanced - Specify the URL to connect to the database. Use this option if you require settings that are not available with the Basic option.

     Host Name - Specify the host name of the server that hosts the database. This field is enabled if the Basic check box is selected.

     Port Number - Specify the number of the port that is used to connect to the database. This field is enabled if the Basic check box is selected.

     Schema Name - Specify the name of the database schema. This field is enabled if the Basic check box is selected and the Database Type is SQLSERVER, DB2, or DB2_400. It is used only when EAM has SQLSERVER database.

     SID - Specify the name of the Oracle schema ID. This field is enabled if the Basic check box is selected and the Database Type is ORACLE. It is used only when EAM has ORACLE database.

     URL - If you selected the Advanced configuration for the database address, specify the URL of the database that contains the message inbox and outbox tables. The URL is dependent on the database type.

     If you select the Basic configuration for the database address, the URL is read-only.

     User Name and Password - Specify the user name and password to connect to the database. If you use SQL Server with Windows authentication, specify a valid Windows domain user name instead of a SQL Server user name.

4. In the Polling section, set Delete Processed Messages to true if you want to delete BODs immediately from the HxGN EAM message outbox area after ION processes them. Set the value to false if you want the processed BODs to remain in the message outbox for the number of minutes specified in the Outbox Cleaner Expire Time field.

5. Click Test to verify whether the connection is working. A message is displayed that indicates whether the test is successful. If the test is not successful, correct the connection details and try again.

6. Click Back to return to the list.

   Connection points are not activated separately. When you activate a document flow, the associated connection points are activated.
