To create a TCP channel:

1. Click the iWay Events tab.

   The adapters that appear in the left pane support events.

2. Expand the JDEdwards node.

   The ports and channels nodes appear in the left pane.

3. Click the channels node.
4. In the right pane, move the pointer over Operations and select Add a new channel.

   The Add a new JDEDWARDS channel dialog box opens in the right pane, as shown in the following image.

   

   1. In the Channel Name and Description fields, type a name (for example, JDEChannel) and a brief description for the channel.
   2. From the Channel Type drop-down list, select TCP Listener.
5. Click Next.

   The Edit channels dialog box opens, as shown in the following image, with fields, a drop-down list, and check boxes prompting you for information required to create a channel.

   

6. Provide the system information that is specific to your J.D. Edwards environment.

   The following table lists and describes the parameters required to create a channel.

   Parameter	Description
   Host	Name or URL of the machine where the database is installed.
   Port number	Port number on which the server is listening, for example, 6009.
   Synchronization Type	If the event application expects a reply sent back to it, select REQUEST_RESPONSE. Specify a preemitter. When a TCP/IP acknowledgment (ACK) is sent back to the event application, select REQUEST_ACK. If the event application does not expect a return, select REQUEST.
   Is Length Prefix	For EnterpriseOne events that send data back that are not in XML format. The TCP/IP event application must prefix the data with a 4-byte binary length field when writing the data to the TCP/IP port.
   Is XML	For EnterpriseOne events that send data back in XML format.
   Is Keep Alive	Maintains continuous communication between the event transaction and the channel.
   User ID	Valid user ID for EnterpriseOne.
   User Password	Password associated with the user ID.
   JDE Environment	EnterpriseOne environment, for example, DV7333. For more information about this parameter, see your EnterpriseOne documentation or ask your EnterpriseOne system administrator.
   Application	XMLInterop or the application name in EnterpriseOne. Optional.
   Server IP address	Name of the server on which EnterpriseOne is running. This can be the name of the server, for example, JDE8.10, or its IP address, for example, 123.45.67.89.
   Server port	Port number on which EnterpriseOne is running.
   User role	User profile for the J.D. Edwards user identifying user privileges. Note: This parameter only appears in J.D. Edwards EnterpriseOne version 8.10.
   Schema style	From the Schema style drop-down list, select ELEMENT_STYLE (default) or ATTRIBUTE _STYLE for J.D. Edwards events and services. For example, if the client requirement is for Microsoft BizTalk, select ELEMENT_STYLE, which sets the default for schema output that is used by Microsoft Biztalk.

7. Click Next.
   1. Select an event port from the list of available ports. To select more than one, hold down the Ctrl key and click the ports.
   2. Click the single right-arrow button to transfer the selected port(s) to the list of current ports. To transfer all event ports, click the double right-arrow button.
8. Click Finish.

   An information summary for the new channel appears in the right pane. It provides the channel, description, channel status, and ports.

   An X over the icon for the channel name indicates that the channel is currently disconnected. You must start the channel to activate your event configuration.

To create a File channel:

1. Click the iWay Events tab.

   The adapters that appear in the left pane support events.

2. Expand the JDEdwards node.

   The ports and channels nodes appear in the left pane.

3. Click the channels node.
4. In the right pane, move the pointer over Operations and select Add a new channel.

   The Add a new JDEDWARDS channel dialog box opens in the right pane, as shown in the following image.

   

   1. In the Channel Name and Description fields, type a name (for example, JDEChannel) and a brief description for the channel.
   2. From the drop-down list, select File Listener.
5. Click Next.

   The Edit channels dialog box opens with Request, Response, Advanced, and preparser tabs, which are used to provide information for the creation of a File channel. The Request tab is selected by default, as shown in the following image.

   

6. Provide the necessary information for the File channel that is specific to your J.D. Edwards environment.

   The following table lists and describes the parameters provided in the Request tab.

   Parameter	Description
   Polling Location	Directory where messages are received. DOS-style file patterns are valid for this parameter. You can specify a file pattern as well as a directory. For example, c:\xyz\ab*cd (without a file suffix) takes the file suffix from that parameter. If you use a pattern, files are selected based on the suffix and then, the pattern. AB?CD selects ABxCD. AB*CD selects ABxxxCD.
   File Mask	File extension for the file event. This limits input files to those with the specified extensions. The "." is not required. A minus sign ("-") indicates no extension. If the file extension is zip, the unzipped files must conform to the event schema, or they fail. This function also works with transform configured.

7. Click the Response tab.

   The following image shows the Response tab of the Edit channels dialog box.

   

   The following table lists and describes the parameters provided in the Response tab.

   Parameter	Description
   Synchronization Type	Select one of the following synchronization types from the drop-down list: REQUEST (Default) REQUEST_RESPONSE REQUEST_ACK
   Response/Ack Directory	The directory in which the acknowledgment document is placed.

8. Click the Advanced tab.

   The following image shows the Advanced tab of the Edit channels dialog box.

   

   The following table lists and describes the parameters provided in the Advanced tab.

   Parameter	Description
   Error Directory	The directory in which the error documents are placed.
   Poll interval (msec)	This is a time, expressed in milliseconds. The maximum interval between checks for new documents. The higher this value, the longer the interval, and the fewer system resources that are used. The side-effect of a high value is that a worker thread cannot respond to a stop command. If this value is set to 0, the listener runs once and terminates.
   Processing Mode	Select one of the following synchronization types from the drop-down list: sequential (default) threaded
   Thread limit	Specify the number of worker threads that you want to have available.

9. Click the preparser tab.

   The following image shows the preparser tab of the Edit channels dialog box.

   

   The following table lists and describes the parameters provided in the preparser tab.

   Parameter	Description
   User ID	Valid user ID for EnterpriseOne.
   User password	Password associated with the user ID.
   JDE Environment	EnterpriseOne environment, for example, DV7333. For more information about this parameter, see your EnterpriseOne documentation or ask your EnterpriseOne system administrator.
   Application	XMLInterop or the application name in EnterpriseOne (Optional).
   Server IP address	Name of the server on which EnterpriseOne is running. This can be the name of the server, for example, JDE8.10, or its IP address, for example, 123.45.67.89.
   Server port	Port number on which EnterpriseOne is running.
   User role	User profile for the J.D. Edwards user identifying user privileges. Note: This parameter only appears in J.D. Edwards EnterpriseOne version 8.10.
