Introduction

The ModusBox’s JDE Connector leverages the internal capabilities of Oracle’s JD Edwards EnterpriseOne™ solution to a broader extent.

The JDE Connector aims to provide integration from and to Oracle’s JD Edwards EnterpriseOne™.

ModusBox’s JDE Connector leverages the power of Oracle’s Java Dynamic Connector to provide interoperability with Oracle’s JD Edwards EnterpriseOne™ and external systems.

After reading this guide, you should be able to accomplish the following scenarios:

  1. Log into JD Edwards EnterpriseOne™

  2. Invoke a BSFN on the server using proper parameters.

  3. Invoke a BSFN on the server using Transaction Processing.

  4. Invoke a UBE by name.

  5. Check a UBE call’s status asynchronously.

  6. Poll Events.

  7. Poll EDI Events.

  8. Log out.

At design time, the JDE Connector allows you to discover functions by name providing full access to all BSFN signatures. Given that discovery is a heavy duty process, the Connector manages a cache repository for all function’s metadata used at least once.

The results of a function call will be injected into the flow as a Map containing key-value pairs with the invocation’s output values. This approach gives the end user freedom of choice to construct complex flows and manage custom exception strategies.

Prerequisites

This document assumes that you are familiar with Oracle’s JD Edwards EnterpriseOne™ basics, Mule the Anypoint™ Studio interface.

Requirements

  • Mule 3.8.0 server Runtime or higher

  • Anypoint Studio January 2015 onwards

  • Access to your Oracle’s JD Edwards EnterpriseOne™ installation java libraries

  • As ModusBox’s JDE Connector is based on Oracle’s JD Edwards EnterpriseOne interoperability solution.is required to activate inside Enterprise Server:

    • XML Dispatch Kernel

    • The XML CallObject kernel

    • The XML Transaction kernel

    • The XML List kernel

    • XMLLookupInfo section for XML Request type 7 inside jde.ini To activate Submit UBE.

This configuration must be done by CNC administrator. Refer to JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools Interoperability Guide

Updating From an Older Version

If you’re currently using an older version of the connector, a small popup appears in the bottom right corner of Anypoint Studio with an "Updates Available" message.

  1. Click the popup and check for available updates. 

  2. Click the Connector version checkbox and click Next and follow the instructions provided by the user interface. 

  3. Restart Studio when prompted. 

  4. After restarting, when creating a flow and using the Object Store Connector, if you have several versions of the connector installed, you may be asked which version you would like to use. Choose the version you would like to use.

Additionally, we recommend that you keep Studio up to date with its latest version.

These are the changes that you need to consider after the update.

  • The attribute Folder Specs Image Cache in JDE Configuration has been removed. In the XML configuration, look for the <jde:config> tag and remove parameter imageFolderCache. The JDE Connector will use the system temporary directory plus environment folder concatenated.

  • This versions will redirecting JDE Logger to Mule Logger. It allows seeing JDE activity in both Console and JDE file defined in jdelog.properties. It will require to add these Asyng Logger to log4j2.xml file.

<!-- JDE Connector wire logging -->
<AsyncLogger name="org.mule.modules.jde.handle.MuleHandler" level="INFO" />
<AsyncLogger name="org.mule.modules.jde.JDEConnector" level="INFO" />
  • DNS resolver has been added to allow JDE Connectors works on CloudHub including with VPC. To allow this, it’s necessary to include JDEdwards servers name using in the connection at the end of jdeinterop.ini file. (It allow to use FQDN or IP)

These exceptions are extended of JDEConnectorException.

  • The Call Business Function operation now will return a XML in the parameter_BSFNDetailErrors instead of a String. This XML will be a representation of CallObjectErrorList object.

Configure the Connector Global Element

Preliminary Setup

In addition to meeting the requirements listed in the Prerequisites and Requirements section, a bundle has to be created to establish a connection to the JDE Enterprise Server. This bundle will be created only for the first time and it can be reused in other applications.

This adapter is a bundle of JAR files that come with the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne distribution.

These steps illustrate how to create bundle connector component so that you can include in the flow that needs connect to JDE Enterprise Server.

Step 1

Create a folder in the file system that it will include the following subfolder:

jde plugin 01

In the folder Server_jar_files we need all the jar file that come with the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne distribution. The files can be found at <Enterprise Server directory>\system\classes on the JDE Enterprise Server to which you are connecting.

In the folder JDBC_Vendor_Drivers we need the JDBC driver files that correspond to the database to which you are connecting.

The folder Bundle will be an empty folder that will be used be the JD Edwards Setup to prepare the bundle jar file.

JDE Server configuration required

To ensure correct operation of all of the JDE Connector features the Enterprise Server requires the following jde.ini file settings:

Please refer to JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools Interoperability Guide to check updates.

  • Ensure that sufficient processes are available for the XML List Kernel

Use these settings for a Microsoft Windows platform:

[JDENET_KERNEL_DEF16]

krnlName=XML List Kernel dispatchDLLName=xmllist.dll dispatchDLLFunction=_XMLListDispatch@28 maxNumberOfProcesses=3 numberOfAutoStartProcesses=1

Please refer to JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools Interoperability Guide to get provides the different .dll extensions for other platforms.

  • Ensure that sufficient processes are available for the XML Dispatch Kernel

Use these settings for a Microsoft Windows platform:

[JDENET_KERNEL_DEF22]

dispatchDLLName=xmldispatch.dll dispatchDLLFunction=_XMLDispatch@28 maxNumberOfProcesses=1 numberOfAutoStartProcesses=1

Please refer to JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools Interoperability Guide to get provides the different .dll extensions for other platforms.

  • Ensure that sufficient processes are available for the XML Service Kernel

Use these settings for a Microsoft Windows platform:

[JDENET_KERNEL_DEF24]

krnlName=XML Service KERNEL dispatchDLLName=xmlservice.dll dispatchDLLFunction=_XMLServiceDispatch@28 maxNumberOfProcesses=1 numberOfAutoStartProcesses=0

Please refer to JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools Interoperability Guide to get provides the different .dll extensions for other platforms.

  • Ensure that the LREngine has a suitable output storage location and sufficient disk allocation

Use these settings for a Microsoft Windows platform:

[LREngine]

System=C:\JDEdwardsPPack\E920\output Repository_Size=20 Disk_Monitor=YES

  • Ensure that the XML Kernels are correctly defined

[XMLLookupInfo]

XMLRequestType1=list XMLKernelMessageRange1=5257 XMLKernelHostName1=local XMLKernelPort1=0

XMLRequestType2=callmethod XMLKernelMessageRange2=920 XMLKernelHostName2=local XMLKernelPort2=0

XMLRequestType3=trans XMLKernelMessageRange3=5001 XMLKernelHostName3=local XMLKernelPort3=0

XMLRequestType4=JDEMSGWFINTEROP XMLKernelMessageRange4=4003 XMLKernelHostName4=local XMLKernelPort4=0 XMLKernelReply4=0

XMLRequestType7=ube XMLKernelHostName7=local XMLKernelMessageRange7=380 XMLKernelPort7=0 XMLKernelReply7=1

Enterprise Server connection considerations

  1. Enable Predefined JDENET Ports in JDE.INI

When there is a firewall between the Mulesoft ESB and the Enterprise Server, set the PredfinedJDENETPorts setting to 1 in the JDE.INI file of the Enterprise Server. This setting enables JDENET network process to use a predefined range of TCP/IP ports. This port range starts at the port number that is specified by serviceNameListen and ends at the port that is calculated by the equation serviceNameListen = maxNetProcesses - 1. You must open these ports in a firewall setup to successfully connect the Mulesoft ESB to the Enterprise Server.

Please refer to JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools Security Administration Guide to check updates.

Configuring the INI File for JDE Connector

The JDE Connector relies on Oracle’s Java Dynamic Connector to establish the link to the server. In order to achieve this, setting up the follwing standard configuration files is needed:

  • "jdbj.ini"

  • "jdeinterop.ini"

  • "jdelog.properties"

  • "tnsnames.ora" (for Oracle RDBMS based installations only)

These files are distributed with both Fat Clients or Enterprise Server modules. In case you get the files from a Fat Client, the folder containing them can be found under the path ini/sbf of your installation.

step09

You must need assistance from a CNC technical.

  • JDBJ.INI

This file is used by Dynamic Java Connector of JD Edwards to introspects business function metadata.

One point to start is seeing HTML server jdbj configuration. Using JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Server Manager inside HTML instance and under Configuration section, there is one option called Database.

  • JDEINTEROP.INI

One point to start is seeing HTML server jas configuration. Using JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Server Manager inside HTML instance and under Configuration section, there are options called Miscellaneous, Network and Security.

There is addtional configurations needed inside JDEINTEROP.INI. You need to add the following section:

[EVENT]

lockEventsYN=N

Flag used by the JDE Connector to lock transactions events before consumed. It must be used if the connector run in more that one Mule instance.

specialEDITables=<F470462>

List of EDI tables without EDLN in its column definitions (between < and >)

validateEnterpriseServicesWith=BOTH

(optional) This options is used by the Test Connection to Validate Enterprise Servicies. The values are BSFN, UBE, BOTH or NONE.

validateEnterpriseServicesUBEName=R0008P_XJDE0001

(optional) This is the UBE used to validate the connection.

If you need to run the application on CloudHub, you will need to add the section OCM_SERVERS with the servers that the JDE Connector will use in the connection. The JDE Servers Names are in the column OMSRVR of F98611 table. To add these servers on the OCM_SERVERS section you will need to follow this format is simple: JDE Server Name = FQDN or IP

[OCM_SERVERS]

jdeserver01=jdeserver01.yourdomain.com

The JDE Connector will ask to the DNS Server the IP of jdeserver01.yourdomain.com. Then, The JDE Connector will use this IP for each reference to jdeserver01

jdeserver02=10.168.45.1

The JDE Connector will use the IP 10.168.45.1 for each reference to jdeserver02

  • jdelog.properties

If you are deploying an Application on Cloudhub, you need to use the tmp directory. This is an example:

[E1LOG]
FILE=/tmp/jdelog/jderoot.log
LEVEL=WARN
FORMAT=APPS
MAXFILESIZE=10MB
MAXBACKUPINDEX=20
COMPONENT=ALL
APPEND=TRUE

#Logging runtime and JAS above APP level will be helpful for application developers.
#Application developers should use this log as a substitute to analyze the flow of events
#in the webclient.

[LOG1]
FILE=/tmp/jdelog/jas.log
LEVEL=APP
FORMAT=APPS
MAXFILESIZE=10MB
MAXBACKUPINDEX=20
COMPONENT=RUNTIME|JAS|JDBJ
APPEND=TRUE

#Logging runtime and JAS at DEBUG level will be helpful for tools developers.
#Tool developers should use this log ato debug tool level issues
[LOG2]
FILE=/tmp/jdelog/jasdebug.log
LEVEL=DEBUG
FORMAT=TOOLS_THREAD
MAXFILESIZE=10MB
MAXBACKUPINDEX=20
COMPONENT=ALL
APPEND=TRUE

Additionally, The new JDE Connector version will redirect JDE Logger to Mule Logger. It will allow seeing JDE activity in both Console and JDE file defined in jdelog.properties. To activate this redirect, It will require adding these Asyng loggers to log4j2.xml file

<AsyncLogger name="org.mule.modules.jde.handle.MuleHandler" level="INFO" />
<AsyncLogger name="org.mule.modules.jde.JDEConnector" level="INFO" />

To report an issue you will need to use DEBUG level

Create Mule Project

Create a new Mule Project with Mule Server 3.8.0 or larger EE as runtime:

step01

We will need this project to generate Bundle.

Generate Bundle

After create the project, you need to build the Oracle JD Edwards' lib bundle.

This jar bundle will be created once and it can be reused for all the projects that it needs connect to JD Edwards.

Step 1

Select the project created and press right mouse button to show context menu.

Select JD Edwards setup from the JDE Context Menu options.

jde plugin 02

This option will open the following screen:

jde plugin 03n1

Step 2

In this screen you need to enter:

JDE Edwards libraries directory: the folder SERVER_jar_File created in section Preliminary Setup.

Select the JDBC driver for you vendor: The driver inside the folder JDBC_Vendor_Drivers created in section Preliminary Setup.

Target directory for your bundle: the folder Bundle created in section Preliminary Setup..

jde plugin 04n1

Press the button Finish and wait at the process end. You can see the advanced in the Progress tab at the bottom:

jde plugin 05

Step 3

When the process finishes, a windows show you the result.

jde plugin 06

You can open the bundle folder to see the JDE Edwards jar file generated:

jde plugin 07

This JAR file will be used in the connector setup.

If you are creating the JDE Edwards bundle from a Maven Project, the jar file will be in the Maven Repository. Folder [MAVEN REP]com\jdedwards\jde-lib-bundle\[Version]

Copy JDE ini Files inside the Project

Step 1

Put the files inside the project folder in the folder:

  • source/main/resource

step10n1

From 1.3.0, The connector now has the possibility to deploy more than one set of INI files for each environment. To allow that, you need to create a folder with the same JDE environment under the folder source/main/resource. Ex. source/main/resource/JPS920 for testing. This folder name must match the Environment used by the connector.

step10n2

Step 2

Edit jdeinterop.ini, jdelog.properties, and jdbj.ini for proper settings.

Refer to the Guide "JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools Connectors Guide"

Configure Global Element

To use the ModusBox’s JDE Connector in your Mule application, you must configure a global ModusBox’s JDE Connector element that can be used by the ModusBox’s JDE Connector (read more about Global Elements).

The ModusBox’s JDE Connector offers the following global configuration(s), requiring the following credentials:

General → Connection

Field Description

User

Enter JDE User used to initialize the JDE Session.

Password

Before continue, you need to test connection pressing TEST CONNECTION…​ button

Using the Connector

You can use the connector to

  • Invoke a BSFN on JD Edwards Enterprise Server.

  • Invoke a BSFN on JD Edwards Enterprise Server using Transaction Processing.

  • Submit a UBE.

  • Get UBE Job Status for a UBE using JDE Job Id.

  • Get Outbound Events from a JD Edwards Application.

  • Get EDI Event from EDI Application.

Connector Namespace and Schema

When designing your application in Studio, the act of dragging the connector from the palette onto the Anypoint Studio canvas should automatically populate the XML code with the connector namespace and schema location.

If you are manually coding the Mule application in Studio’s XML editor or other text editor, define the namespace and schema location in the header of your Configuration XML, inside the <mule> tag.

Demo Mule Applications Using ModusBox’s JDE Connector

  • Invoke a BSFN.

  • Invoke a BSFN with Transaction Processing.

  • Invoke a UBE.

  • Get UBE Job Status.

  • Get Outbound Events from a JD Edwards Application.

  • Get EDI Event to generate Order Acknowledgments 855 EDI Doc.

Using the JDE Connector in your application is explained in detail in the Example Use Case section below.

Invoke a BSFN

This use case example will create a simple flow to get the address book name from the Address Book table (A/B) invoking the Master Business Function (MBF) on Oracle’s JDE EnterpriseOne Server.

Step 1

Use Mule Project created in the Section Create Mule Project.

Step 2

Locate the HTTP Endpoint connector on the right hand-side palette:

Step 3

Drag the connector over to the canvas:

step03

Step 4

The connector requires an Connector Configuration; click on Add to create a connector configuration.

Step 5

Give the HTTP endpoint a more descriptive name like get-AddressBookName-http-endpoint and press OK to go back to the global HTTP endpoint dialog box:

Step 6

Add a path to the URL like getaddressbookname and press SAVE the project. The connector will be ready to process requests.

step06

Step 7

Back to the Message Flow view, you need to Locate the JDE Connector on the right hand-side palette:

Step 8

Drag the connector over to the canvas:

step08

Step 9

You need to select Connector Configuration created in Configure Global Element section:

step12

Step 10

You need to select the operation Call BSFN

step16

Step 11

Now, you need to select the bsfn to call in the Entity Type field and press ENTER. In this example we will use AddressBookMasterMBF.

step17

The first time it will take more time because the JDE connector is getting the full BSFN list and it will be saved in a local file as functions.json:

step17a
step17a1

The JDE Connector will use java.io.tmpdir plus environment as destination folder. To know where is the temporary directory you can use Anypoint Studio Installation Details from Help menu.

step17a2

The connector will get the specification from the server and it will put the specification in the local repository.

step17b

Step 12

You need to select the option: Create Object manually

The first time that the BSFN is used, the connector get the specs from the server.

step12a

Under java.io.tmpdir plus environment folder, the JDE Connector will save the specs.

step12b

After that you will need to populate the parameters. To do this press the button […​] and populate the parameters:

Action Code to "I" Inquire

step18b

And mnAddressBookNumber the address number that will be part of the URL parameter.

Ex: localhost:8081/getaddressbookname?addressbook=1

Enter:

#[message.inboundProperties.'http.query.params'.addressbook]
step18c

Press OK button to return to JDE Connector configuration. Then, save the project.

Step 13

Back to the Message Flow view, and you need to Locate the Set Payload on the right hand-side palette to return the address book name.

Step 14

Drag the Transformer over to the canvas and write the answer.

step20

Step 15

Finally, run the example as a Mule application

Step 16

Test the Mule Application

Write the URL:

http://localhost:8081/getaddressbookname?addressbook=1

and you will see the address book name:

step22

From JDE Connector version 1.3.0, you need to include these AsyncLogger in log4j.xml to see the JDE Connector log under console windows:

<!-- JDE Connector wire logging -->
<AsyncLogger name="org.mule.modules.jde.handle.MuleHandler" level="DEBUG" />
<AsyncLogger name="org.mule.modules.jde.JDEConnector" level="DEBUG" />

How to use common Call BSFN parameters

There is four common parameters to invoke a BSFN:

Parameter Input/Output Type Description

_BSFNThrowExceptionWithErrorsYN

Input

STRING

Values: Y, The flow will throw Runtime Exception with cause: org.mule.modules.jde.exceptions.CallBSFNException.

How define Data Selection

The parameter _Selection is used to define UBE Data Selection.

The sentence is like a WHERE of SQL sentence.

The _Sentence syntax is:

     table.column_name operator [value|table.column_name];

The table must be a JDE table that it belong to main view. Column Name must be an JDE’s Alias.

The following operators can be used in the _Sentence:

Operator Description

=

Equal

<>

Not equal

<>

Not equal

>

Greater than

<

Less than

>=

Greater than or equal

Less than or equal

BETWEEN

Between an inclusive range

NOT BETWEEN

Not Between an exclusive range

IN

To specify multiple possible values for a column

NOT IN

To exclude multiple possible values for a column

The values can be literals or another column table.

Literals can be String or Number

The sentence can include AND condition and the OR condition

To override the default precedence you need to use parenthesis as:

     C1 AND (C2 OR C3)

The sentence only accept one level of Parenthesis.

For example, this is a valid sentence because the maximum level of Parenthesis opened is 1.

     C1 AND (C2 OR C3) AND (C4 OR C5)

otherwise, this is an invalid sentences because the maximum level of Parenthesis opened is 2.

     C1 AND (C2 OR (C3 AND C4))

Examples:

     F4211.KCOO = '00001' AND F4211.DOCO > 10332
     F4211.KCOO = '00001' AND F4211.DOCO >= 10332
     F4211.KCOO = '00001' AND F4211.DOCO <= 10332
     F4211.KCOO = '00001' AND F4211.DOCO <> 10332
     F4211.KCOO = '00001' AND ( F4211.DCTO = 'SO' OR F4211.DCTO = 'SI' )
     F4211.KCOO = '00001' AND F4211.DCTO IN ('SO','SI')
     F4211.KCOO = '00001' AND F4211.DCTO NOT IN ('SO','SI')
     F4211.KCOO = '00001' AND F4211.DOCO BETWEEN 1022 AND 400
     F4211.KCOO = '00001' AND F4211.DOCO NOT BETWEEN 1022 AND 400
     F4211.MCU = F4211.EMCU AND F4211.DOCO NOT BETWEEN 1022 AND 400

Capture outbound events

This use case example will create a simple flow to get outbound events that it come from an application that uses a Master Business Function to generate transactions.

JDE outbound transactions requires that you set a Processing Option specifying a transaction type. Additionally, some entry programs enable you to specify a version of the Master Business Function Processing Options program that, in turn, enables you to specify a version of the Interoperability Processing Options program.

For example, to get customer entered by the application Customer Master information (P03013) is necessary setup the following Processing Options:

     Versions -> Customer Master MBF (P0100042) Version with the value ZJDE0002
event jde00
event jde01

Then, the P0100042 version ZJDE0002 needs to have the following value in

     Outbound -> Transaction Type with the value JDECM
event jde02a
event jde02

The last configuration that is needed is inform to JDE connector the outbound table used by the MBF to inform the event:

Using "Flat File Cross-Reference (P47002)" form "Work With Flat File Cross-Reference" adds the following record:

Table Record Type

F03012Z1

1 Header

Follow next steps to create a flow that it will capture Customers that it added using Customer Master information (P03013)*
