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.
- 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 MGCORE category (if provided, as it is in a typical multi-tenant cloud environment). Otherwise, you could use the ESB 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.
 
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.
