Creating requisites for Data Lake/IMS replication

Before using replication for Data Lake and Infor Messaging Service (IMS) data transfers, you must set up the system using this process.

  1. Use the Service Configuration Manager utility to designate a "bootstrap" configuration.
  2. Use the Replication Categories form to verify that a replication category exists that meets your needs for replication.
    For Data Lake/IMS transactions, you can use the MGCORE category (if provided, as it is in a typical multi-tenant cloud environment). Otherwise, you could use the ESB category.

    If no category that meets your requirements exists and is available, you must create a new category.

    Caution: 
    We strongly recommend that you contact Infor Consulting Services for assistance before creating (or attempting to create) your own replication categories.

    Verify that the Replication Transfer Type field is set to Data Lake.

  3. Use the Intranets form to create an intranet to be used specifically for BOD transactions.

    Any intranet used for BOD-based replication must have these specifications, at a minimum:

    Intranet
    Specify the name to identify the intranet, for example: DATALAKE
    Description
    Optionally, provide an appropriate description to be used internally for identification purposes.
    External
    Select this check box.
    Transport
    Select ESB.
    ION Transfer Type
    Select ION Messaging.
    Data Catalog URL
    Provide the URL for the server that hosts the Data Catalog.
    URL
    Provide the URL for the IMS server.

    Other active fields on the Intranets form are optional. For information about them and how they are used, see the help topics for the individual fields.

  4. Use the Sites form to create a logical "site" to be used for Data Lake/IMS transactions.

    At a minimum, provide this information:

    Site
    Specify a name to identify this site as your Data Lake/IMS-based site; for example: DATALAKE.
    Site Name and Description
    Optionally, provide an appropriate site name and description.
    Type
    Specify Site.

    On the System Info tab, make these settings:

    Time Zone
    Select the time zone to be used by this site.
    Intranet Name
    Select the intranet you created in the previous step.

    On the Site User Map tab, make these settings:

    From Site
    User Name

    Other active fields on the Sites form are optional.

  5. On the Replication Rules form, create a new rule.
    At a minimum, provide this information:
    Source Site
    From the drop-down list, select the local site (typically, DEFAULT).
    Target Site
    From the drop-down list, select the site that you configured in the previous step.
    Category
    From the drop-down list, select the category you are using for Data Lake/ISM transactions.
    Description
    Optionally, provide a brief description to be used internally to help identify the purpose or use of the rule.
    Interval Type
    From the drop-down list, select Immediate.
  6. Regenerate the replication triggers.
