Appending data to a Transaction Requester document

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 580

Hello,

I have setup the eConnect outgoing service to monitor table SOP30300 (Sales_History_Transaction/Invoices). This works great, any new invoices get picked up by eConnect and place in MSMQ for me to harvest. I am in the process of adding an extension table that will contain box/container information for each line item (ex. part 123 in box 4). The goal is to have this data appended to the eConnect invoice document that’s delivered to MSMQ currently… I've read the documentation and see how this is accomplished, but I’m still uncertain with my scenario. In the eConnect_Out_Setup I can see my entry to monitor that I initially setup via the eConnect Requester Utility. My problem is that I can’t see where I can enter this extension table I want to join too, the field JOINTABLE is already populated with SOP30200. I would have expected to see something like JOINTABLE1, JOINTABLE2, etc (which supposedly increments the column MAIN)… So the question is, how can I get this same invoice that I’m currently receiving to also have the required box/container information appended in it (anywhere!)? Am I asking the impossible? Do I take the simple route and just query that table manually once an invoice arrives in the MS queue (the relation between the SOP30300 and new box/container extension table will be the invoice/doc number)?  

Thanks

    RE: Appending data to a Transaction Requester document

    Sanjay,

    I have come to a conclusion that including a custom extension table in the eConnect outgoing setup table will not produce the desired results if this table is not part of any type of eConnect document class. I followed documentation and had everything setup in eConnect_Out_Setup. I was monitoring SOP30200 (DocType Sales_History_Transaction) with my Requester.OutputType set to 2 (grab the entire sales order transaction). I setup an extension table named "ShippingBoxes" and gave it a docType of  "Sales_History_Transaction" and joining on SOPNUMBR from my box table to SOP30200. After realizing no transactions were passing through to MSMQ i journeyed into event  viewer and noticed that eConnect was failing with an exception:

    ".Net SqlClient Data Provider

    Timeout expired.  The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding.

    System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Timeout expired.  The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding.

    I changed the DocType to a custom type of "Boxing" and restarted the service. The transaction was executed to MSMQ, but missing the added box nodes from my extension table.

    Unless there is a way to relate this custom table to a SOP transaction in the eConnect SDK i'm certain that this is not possible. My conclusion rendered that an eConnect to MSMQ transaction had to be a member of the same class (DocType) to be included in the eConnect MSMQ transaction. There is little to no documentation on this (that i could find) to point me in the right direction.

    Fortunately i was not limited to needing this entire transaction in 1 single xml. I had created a windows service that monitors these transactions, once an invoice is delivered i just fire a stored procedure (via my c# windows service) and pass my SOPNUMBR to get the related box information from GP... this will suffice for my task, but i'd like to here from a GP professional to validate my findings...

    Hope that helps

    yes, i did read that. Thanks.

    I did a bunch more research on this after i posted this question, apparently there are a few ways to do this, all which are related to the eConnect SDK. I was originally confused with the "Creating a Transaction Requester Document Type" instructions in the eConnect SDK documentation... it is all making sense now an i'm attempting that route first. Thank you for your feedback, it's appreciated.
