| # BOD messaging Business object documents (BODs) are XML messages used to exchange data between enterprises or enterprise applications. A BOD is composed of a noun, which identifies the message content, and a verb, which identifies the action to be taken with the document. The unique combination of the noun and the verb forms the name of the BOD. For example, noun ReceiveDelivery combined with verb Sync results in BOD SyncReceiveDelivery. The BODs are sent to Infor ION. Configuring ERP Enterprise for BOD publishing To exchange data through BODs, specific configuration settings are required in ERP Enterprise and the other application. BOD implementation registration In the BOD implementation registration (bobod1100m000) session, you can specify custom BOD implementations, modify the parameters of standard and custom BOD implementations, and specify whether publishing must occur immediately or must be postponed through a staging mechanism. Publishing staged BODs In the Publish staged BODs (bobod2200m000) session, you can publish staged BODs. BOD Monitor In the BOD Monitor (bobod1200m100) session, you can view the number of BODs present in the outbox, or staged. You can compare the earliest time stamp of the BODs to the current time. If the age of a BOD exceeds a threshold, an alert is shown. BOD alerter In the BOD alerter (bobod1200m200) session, you can compare the earliest time stamp of stored BODs to the current time. If the age of a BOD falls within a threshold range, an email is sent to a configurable list of email addresses. |
