M3CE & ION - ConfirmBOD management with ActiveMQ

Maxime Richard

Greetings,

Currently working for a customer in the cloud, we have a requirement to manage automatically all confirmBOD that may be generated from the ERP if the integration fails (M3 in this case) : the goal is to reduce manual "resubmit" of a confirmBOD.

For incoming messages, a JMS connection point through enterprise connector has been successfully set up. In case the integration fails in M3, a confirmBOD is automatically send back to ION. This error BOD contains the full original BOD.

We need to send back the original message in an error queue; this way, the JMS server will process later this message.

Apart from creating a Sync.Error BOD if any monitor exist, can we do something to fullfill the requirement ? Does an ION API exist to re-submit a message based on the messageID ?

Bonus question to Infor team : current activeMQ java class is using queues only and not topic. A topic implements publisher & subscriber semantics. Will Infor enhance this connection point in the future ?

Hello Maxime! We have run into this a couple of times ourselves. We have found that mapping the Confirm.BOD back into the original BOD for resubmission works best. To pre-handle the Error BOD, you could create a flow against the Acknowledge.Noun BOD, thus not creating the Confirm.BOD in the first place. You would need to utilized the Aknowledge BOD and map it back to Sync to put in the queue. Since this customer is cloud, you could use the Mapping or the Scripting to handle this flow. 

I am not familiar with JMS to help with your bonus question, but I hope the above helps with your customer. 

Thanks!
