DCS 6.2 database

The Distribution Center System (DCS) 6.2 database node defines an asynchronous transport using a DCS 6.2 database table. The DCS 6.2 database transport node enables you to define services or interfaces to read from or write to the DCS 6.2 tables that are comprised of positional data.

The interface tables in the DCS 6.2 database are INFC_UPLD_TAB_1 and INFC_DNLD_TAB_1. Multiple records in these interface tables constitute a transaction.

You can define defaults which can be applied on these interface tables. Hence, if DCS 6.2 needed some specific attributes to be set in the data and that data is not available in the external system, interface defaulting mechanisms can be used to set them up. For more information about using the defaulting component refer to Defaulting component.

The DCS 6.2 database component reads unprocessed interface table (INFC_DNLD_TAB_1) records for an interface type and node. If any of the components following the DCS 6.2 database component in the service definition framework throws an exception, the interface records for that transaction are marked as error. Processing of these error records is based on a system property that is passed to a server JVM running the inbound interface.

Note: If a text translator component converts the list of interface records into an XML, an XSL transformation must be applied on the output of the text translator to conform the XML to the input required by the API.
