System Modules Tab

This tab provides a systems administration function to support the system being the source of updates to external systems, such as exporting data.

A business example of where this function could be used, is where the application is being used as the master Customer database record and there is a need for near real time integration with other systems that need to know about changes to that master customer record.

Administrators can define that a collection of fields, such as names, address lines, post-code are to be “published” for potential external consumption as an XML “packet” of data, when any updates were made. This can be controlled on a function basis, that is inserts, amends, deletes, etc. When changes are made in , the system will output that data, to a defined distribution source. Where a customer has in place an Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) solution, “subscribing” applications could pick up that data and process it.

The Web Service Export control flag indicates that the web service export function is in use and mandates the input of the service name. The user can prompt on the name field to go to the new web services list (MAMZ) and return a service that must be defined as of type “export”, or “both”.

NOTE The Date Format field here does not have any effect in , it is intended for other interfaces not covered by this help.
