Interoperability Tracking

Edit online

Activities between Application and Sterling Connect:Enterprise® for UNIX can be tracked from either system.

The Sterling Connect:Enterprise UNIX Server Adapter writes Application correlation records to enable searches for business processes in Application that contain a particular Sterling Connect:Enterprise for UNIX AcdName or a SessionId.

The adapter also logs the notification event in Sterling Connect:Enterprise for UNIX and identifies the Application business process ID that started. This information is visible in the Sterling Connect:Enterprise for UNIX Detail Account and Schedule reports. The business process ID appears as a hyperlink. Clicking on the business process ID opens a browser window to the Detail page of that business process.

Although a configuration of the Sterling Connect:Enterprise UNIX Server Adapter is included in Application, you can create a new configuration of the adapter.

Before creating a new configuration of the adapter, review the following tips:

  • You can use the Sterling Connect:Enterprise UNIX Server Adapter named “BP” for your production environment. However, if you plan to use more than one configuration of the adapter with a single installation of Sterling Connect:Enterprise for UNIX, you must create additional configurations with different names.
  • The Sterling Connect:Enterprise for UNIX schedule that starts a session with Application points to a specific resource. This resource is the registered configuration of the Sterling Connect:Enterprise UNIX Server Adapter. Therefore, it may be useful to create and name configurations of the adapter according to how they will be used in Application (for example: SAP, Rosetta, or UCCnet), and then have these multiple adapters connected to a single installation of Sterling Connect:Enterprise for UNIX.

The following information is needed before you can complete configuration and enable a configuration of the Sterling Connect:Enterprise UNIX Server Adapter:

  • Sterling Connect:Enterprise for UNIX Host - The host name or IP address of the Sterling Connect:Enterprise for UNIX instance that the adapter will connect to.
  • Sterling Connect:Enterprise for UNIX Port - The port number the adapter will use to connect to the Sterling Connect:Enterprise for UNIX application. This should be the main Sterling Connect:Enterprise for UNIX port.
  • Sterling Connect:Enterprise for UNIX User ID - The user ID required to access Sterling Connect:Enterprise for UNIX. This is a Sterling Connect:Enterprise for UNIX remote account.
  • Sterling Connect:Enterprise for UNIX Password - The password required to access Sterling Connect:Enterprise for UNIX.
