Sending or receiving Business Object Documents from multiple sites on an intranet

Consider this information.

Inbound and outbound BODs

(on-premises only) You can specify a default configuration name for a site in the Sites or Sites/Entities form. Alternatively, you can create a configuration whose name exactly matches the local site name.

On the SyteLine server, you specify configuration information on the Replication tab of the Service Configuration Manager utility:

  • In the Replicator/Inbound Bus Configurations field, specify all of the configurations that can receive inbound or outbound messages from other sites on the intranet. The Replication Document Outbox form at each site collects outbound BODs for that site. The Replication Document Inbox form at each site collects inbound BODs for that site.
  • In the ReplQListener Queue Servers field, set up a queue server name for every intranet in your system.
Note: If you are upgrading from a previous version and you already have replication set up through a "bootstrap" site, it will still work as it did in the previous version. The Replicator/Inbound Bus Configurations field contains one site set as the Master Site, and the ReplQListener Queue Servers field has the Default field selected.

The named queue is the same for the specification in the Service Configuration Manager as it is in the Queue Server Name field on the Intranets form. For example, if you want server3\private$\MyQueues to be looked at by ReplQListener, you would use that queue in the Service Configuration Manager as well.

Purging BOD information

Information from every inbound BOD, including sequencing information, is collected in a table in the application. This data constantly builds up and, over time, could cause performance issues. For this reason, system administrators should periodically use the Purge BOD Information form to purge information from that table. You can set up a background task to perform this function automatically.

You can also use the Replication Document Inbox/Outbox Utilities form to clear out older BODs from the Replication Document Inbox and Outbox.
