Re: System Link

Hi Iain
We have been using System Link for five years or so to push data into various XA modules and applications we developed in Enterprise Integrator. It works very well. Performance is good for most part but best to run on auxiliary server if doing a lot of interactive processes. My only complaint is the service does go to sleep and first request can take two or three minutes when this happens

It helps to have a best practice approach and we use a standard methodology to handle requests in and handle response so we don't have to rewrite this part for each process

It's powerful and works fantastic in replacing offline load or integration from other modules. It is reliable and enforces all edits including any custom ones you may have added.

It you want more details on best practice when you get started we can discuss offline as relatively detailed.

Hi All

Just bought the Flex offering that contains (amongst other modules) System
Link. Is there anyone out there using System Link to perform any data
manipulation (imports/exports/modification) with XA. We would like to
replace our current offline load processes it

Item Master/Balance offline loads
COM order offline loads
REP Routing offline loads
PDM Product structure offline loads.

We are at XA R7.8 and will move to R9.1 mid next year.

I am aware that these offline loads will disappear at R10 and we will have
to rewrite by then anyway.


I would be interested in any comments from systems people regarding setup,
performance, problems or any other comments

Many thanks

Iain
