Creating requisites for Data Lake/IMS replication

Designate a "bootstrap"configuration. To specify a "bootstrap" configuration, use the Service Configuration Manager utility.

See the help topic Specifying a "bootstrap" configuration.

Verify that a replication category that meets your needs exists. To check the list of replication categories, open the Replication Categories form and then click Filter In Place.

For Data Lake/IMS transactions, you can use the category (if provided, as it is in a typical multi-tenant cloud environment). Otherwise, you could use the category.

If there no existing category meets your requirements, you must create a new category.

See the help topic About replication categories and rules.

Caution:

We strongly recommend that you contact Infor Consulting Services for assistance before you create, or attempt to create, your own replication categories.

On the Replication Categories form, with a replication category selected, verify that the Replication Transfer Type field is set to Data Lake.

Open the Intranets form and 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.
IMS Service Name: Optionally, when sending replication records to an Infor Messaging Service (IMS) destination site, you can specify a lookup key for the IMS OAuth credentials.
Note: This field is available only when you select ION Messaging in the ION Transfer Type field. This option is read-only if you are working in a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) environment.
Append :ims To Logical ID: Optionally, when sending replication records to an Infor Messaging Service (IMS) destination site, you can select this option to append the ":ims" suffix to outbound logical IDs.
Note: This field is available only when you select ION Messaging in the ION Transfer Type field. This option is read-only if you are working in a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) environment.

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.

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

At a minimum, specify 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.

Open the Replication Rules form and create a new rule.

At a minimum, specify 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.

Regenerate the replication triggers.
