Setting defaults

  1. In the UK Tax Authority Connector tool, click the Defaults tab.
  2. In the Endpoint Configuration section, select the active environment to the sandbox (test) or production (live) web service. Select configure to add details of the endpoint for the MTD web service if they have changed after delivery of the connector.
    Note: The endpoints should not be changed unless recommended by Infor.
  3. Specify the required details for the Folder Path fields:
    Folder path
    Specify the paths:
    • to receive the XML from either the ERP or LSP from the ERP (Output)
    • to be used for processing MTD details (WIP)
    • to be used when submission has failed (Rejected)
      Note: This is when there are fundamental errors in the XML being processed by the connector.
    • to be used when submission is successful (Inbox)
      Note: All responses from the webservice are placed in this folder.
    Note: If required, you can change the paths using the Browse button.
    Note: The MTD files can reside on the same PC or server as the software, or be accessed through a network drive using Universal Naming Convention (UNC) notation.
  4. In the Sleep time section, specify this information:
    Sleep time (in seconds)
    Specify the sleep time in seconds or use the default value for these fields: Controller, Submit Return, View Return, Retrieve Payments, Outbox, Retrieve Obligations and Retrieve Liabilities.
  5. In the Service Call Retries section, specify the sleep time in seconds for both the short and long interval retries.
    Occasionally, the MTD web service may become temporarily unavailable, for example, due to maintenance. If this is the case, the controller will try to resubmit the request several times. Initially, this is done through the short retry interval. When all short retries are exhausted, the controller drops through to the long retry intervals. If all retries are exhausted, then the processing thread for that particular service is ended.
  6. In the Termination section, specify the delay in seconds to be used when termination has been invoked. This allows processing to complete in an orderly manner before the controller is terminated.
  7. If a proxy server is required, specify this information in the Proxy Server Settings section:
    Note: Your network administrator will supply the values for these fields if a proxy server is required. If a proxy server is not used, leave these entries blank.
    Address
    Specify the name of the proxy server that is used for HTTPS requests.
    Port
    Specify the port number used for HTTPS requests.
    User
    If user authentication is required, specify the user ID for HTTPS requests.
    Password
    If user authentication is required, specify the password associated with the user ID for HTTPS requests. Confirm the password.
