J.D. Edwards World Interoperability Framework

Topics:

J.D. Edwards World provides integration with systems through its interoperability framework. The adapter uses the World framework and leverages various integration access methods to provide the greatest amount of flexibility and functionality.

Inbound Processing

You configure an iWay Business Service for the adapter to send requests to J.D. Edwards World. The business service processes requests for J.D. Edwards World, embedded in XML documents and forwards them to a back-end J.D. Edwards World system. An iWay Service Manager-based table listener retrieves this key information and passes the data in XML format to an associated iWay transform.

iWay Business Services Provider (iBSP) receive an XML request document from a client and call a specific function in the target Enterprise Information System (EIS). A business service performs the following functions:

  • Receives requests from a legacy system, another EIS, or a non-EIS client.
  • Transforms the XML request document into the EIS-specific format.

    The request document conforms to a request XML schema. The schema is based on metadata in the EIS.

  • Calls the underlying function in the EIS and waits for its response.

Outbound Processing

You can configure an event for the adapter, which consists of a port and channel to receive messages from J.D. Edwards World. The information the event receives is used to build an XML record and forwarded to any specified service for further processing.
