Creating or Editing a JDE Endpoint

JDE endpoints provide the connection information used to connect to specific JDE servers and database instances. You can create multiple endpoints that refer to separate instances.

Before creating and configuring a new JDE endpoint, you must import JDE provider modules into Studio. You must also install JDE libraries onto the Web Management Console (WMC) before you can deploy a JDE project. For more information about installing the libraries into the WMC, see the WMC Online Help.

Procedure

  1. To create a new JDE Endpoint complete the following steps:
    1. Verify that the JDE libraries are installed.
    2. Create a new endpoint using one of the following ways:
    • In the Project tab of the Studio toolbox, click the New Endpoint icon, and select JDE from the list.
    • In the Project tab of the Studio toolbox, click the Endpoint folder, and then select Create Endpoint > JDE.
    A new Endpoint is created and displayed under the Endpoints folder in the Project tab with a default name. A JDE Endpoint tab is displayed in the main Studio pane.
  2. To open an existing endpoint complete the following step:
    • Expand the Project tab Endpoints folder and double-click the existing endpoint listing.
  3. To configure the endpoint settings complete the following steps:
    1. When the JDE pane is displayed in the Studio workspace, configure the available options as described in the following tables.
      Note: If you are editing an existing endpoint, changing the properties of that endpoint globally affects all orchestrations that use that endpoint.
    2. When the option configuration is complete, click Test Connection. The test results are displayed.
    • If Studio confirms that it can connect to the specified endpoint, Studio returns the message: "Successfully Connected to Endpoint."
    • If the connection to the endpoint fails, Studio throws an error message.
  4. Click OK.
    Configuration Description
    Server Name Specifies the name or IP address of the machine hosting the JDE application.
    Port Specifies the port number assigned to the JDE application.
    User Name Specifies the user name that the Integration Appliance uses to connect to the JDE application.
    Password Specifies the password associated with the application-access user name.
    Environment Specifies the code representing the JDE environment.
    Database Configuration Description
    Database URL Specifies the full URL assigned to this JDE database instance.
    Database Driver Specifies the database driver.
    User Name Specifies the user name used by the Integration Appliance to connect to the specific database instance.
    Password Specifies the password associated with the database-access user name.
    Database Dev ID Specifies the development ID for the database.
    Database System ID Specifies the system ID of this database.
    Database Control ID Specifies the control ID.
    Connection Pool Description
    Minimum Connections Specifies the minimum number of connections to a JDE instance. The default is 1 connection (the lowest possible number of connections).
    Maximum Connections Specifies the maximum number of database connections to a JDE instance, up to 25.
    Maximum Idle Time Specifies the time in minutes that a database connection can be open and idle before being closed by the Integration Appliance. Entering 0 (zero) means that the connections are closed when they are returned to the pool , i.e. no idle time.
    Maximum Wait Specifies the time in seconds that the Integration Appliance waits for an unresponsive database connection before cancelling the attempt.
    Session Configuration Description
    Timeout Specifies the default session timeout.
