  • How do I set up a sequence card?
  • How do I set up sequence notifications?
Tip

Summary: This chapter explains how to set up a sequence card and sequence notifications in the COSMO Data Integration Framework. It outlines the three types of transport types, the error handling options, and the different types of notification groups.

Sequences process Mappings in a defined order. The Sequence Lines indicate the order and can perform Mappings with and without a relation to a Partner.

To set up a sequence card

  1. Choose the Lightbulb that opens the Tell Me feature icon, enter Sequences - Data Integration Framework, and then choose the related link.
  2. Choose the New action.
  3. On the Sequence Card page, fill in the fields as necessary. Hover over a field to read a short description.

If a Sequence is active, then all active lines on the Lines FastTab are processed. The sequence of the lines corresponds to their order of processing, which is user-defined.

There are three types of Transport Types that are determined in the Transport Type field on the Lines FastTab:

  • Process Only – Mapping is processed without sending or receiving Messages from Partner.
  • Receive – Executes the Receive and Process action (see Partner Mapping).
  • Send – Executes the Process and Send Message action (see Partner Mapping).

If an error occurs during the processing of a line, the Error Handling field determines what happens. The options are:

  • Disable Sequence – The entire Sequence is disabled and ended.
  • Disable Line Only – Only the line is disabled and the process of the Sequence is continued. During the next run, the faulty line will not be processed.
  • None – The processing of the Sequence is continued with the next line. During the next run, the faulty line is processed again.

In case of an error, an email is sent to each recipient with the error message in the body text. The emails can be sent to recipients set up in the Sequence Notifications page.

To set up sequence notifications

  1. Choose Notification Setup on the Navigate menu of the Sequence Card.
  2. On the Sequence Notifications page, fill in the fields as necessary. Hover over a field to read a short description.
Note

The sequence notification is not able to define its custom body. The error message of the mapping entry will be written into the email’s body.

Messages will be sent over SMTP, according to the settings in the SMTP Mail Setup page, which is accessed using Tell Me.

The Group Notifications field allows for Messages to be sent in a grouping, as opposed to a separate message per Line/User. The options are:

  • None – The notification will be sent directly after processing the mapping.
  • After Sequence – The notifications are saved, and after processing the full sequence (even if the sequence gets disabled), the notifications are grouped into a single email per recipient and sent.
  • Hourly – After processing all sequences, open notifications that are older than one hour are checked and sent in a group to the recipients. If the sequence processing (= Codeunit 5100910, DIS - Sequence Adapter) is configured in slower time intervals (for example, 5h), and emails should be sent quicker, either the Codeunit 5100900, DIS - Management or Codeunit 5100911, DIS - Email Management can be entered in the job queue with a 30 minute interval. Both codeunits will send the hourly saved emails.
Note

For several recipients and in combination with groups, the entire group will be used for grouping.
For grouping, the Subject is replaced with a constant by the system.
