| # Defining Company - Bus Component A bus components is an entry in the OpenWorld Directory Service. The bus component contains information about the server/client that uses OpenWorld, indicating the name, address, message queues, ports and so on. In addition, each component has one or more connection points that link the OpenWorld Adapter for that component to the actual transport layer. For more information refer to the Help of OpenWorld. Bus components are only used if you use OpenWorld, which is the case if the Use Infor Open World check box is selected in the Assembly Planning Parameters (tiapl0100s000) session. Refer to the Help on this check box for a list of processes that can use OpenWorld. For each company, only one bus component can be selected. Bus components are either listed in the BusComponent Editor (Microsoft Windows platform), which is installed together with OpenWorld, or in the OpenWorld server starter UI & command (tmboaserver) session in ERP LN. Each bus component has a unique code with the following syntax:
    cn=<component name>, o=<directory root>
For example:
    cn=runner-verdi-406-asm, o=baan.com
You must enter this code manually. A user name and password are required if an activation server is used to activate the bus component automatically. Specify the user name and password that are required to log on to ERP LN. The password is stored encrypted. Whether you use an activation server, is specified in the BusComponent Editor of OpenWorld. To select a company, you can zoom to the Implemented Software Components (tccom0500m000) session. The data in the other fields must be entered manually. Use the Test Bus Component command on the Specific menu to test whether the bus component exists, and whether the user name and password are valid to activate the bus component.
