Module 37: Setting Enterprise

Integration Manager Options
Module Objectives
After completing this module you will be able to:

 Use configuration file parameters to enhance performance
 Set troubleshooting flags
 Run deletes
 Extend interface (EIM) tables to support base table
column extensions
 Why you need to know:

 To reduce time spent importing data
 To troubleshoot import problems successfully
 To leverage the full capabilities of EIM

0/3
Configuration (.ifb) Parameters

 Use enhanced configuration parameters to speed EIM
processing and reduce elapsed time
 Process options
 Import options
 Explicit and implicit primaries

1/3
Process Options
 Explicitly include or exclude tables and columns to avoid
unnecessary processing
 Use ONLY BASE TABLES, ONLY BASE COLUMNS
or
 Use IGNORE BASE TABLES, IGNORE BASE COLUMNS
 Example:
Directs task to process only
these target tables

1/3
Process Options Continued

 Set options to control processing and enhance performance
 Set USING SYNONYMS to FALSE to avoid unnecessary
processing
 USING SYNONYMS applies to accounts only
 Use SHELL to process multiple EIM tables/sections in a single
run
 Example:
Directs task to
ignore account
synonyms

2/3
Import Options
 Set options to preprocess EIM rows and columns
 Use FILTER QUERY to select a subset of EIM rows for
processing
 Use DEFAULT COLUMN or FIXED COLUMN to set values for
EIM columns
 Example:
EIM column,
operator, and value

3/3
Setting Primaries
 Improves performance by eliminating sub-queries when
displaying data from Parent and Child tables
 If primaries are not used, a new query needs to be executed to
identify any Child records each time a Parent record is displayed
 Two types of Primary settings:
 Explicit Primary
 Implicit Primary

3/3
Explicit Primaries
 Use the Primary flag to set explicit primaries through EIM
 Use when the external system knows which child should be
primary
EIM_ACCOUNT
EIM table
NAME ADDR_ADDR ADDR_CITY ACC_PR_ADDR
Acme Elm Street Boston Set the PFK to point
Acme Main Street San Mateo Y to this child data
S_ORG_EXT S_ADDR_ORG
ROW_ID NAME PR_ADDR_ID OU_ID ROW_ID ADDR CITY
A Acme 3333 A 1111 Elm Street Boston
A 3333 Main Street San Mateo
Base tables

3/3
Implicit Primaries
 Allow EIM to implicitly set primaries
 Use when the external system does not know the primary
 Sets the primary to be the child with the lowest ROW_ID
 Mimics auto primary in the application
EIM EIM_ACCOUNT
table
NAME ADDR_ADDR ADDR_CITY
Acme Elm Street Boston
Acme Main Street San Mateo
S_ORG_EXT S_ADDR_ORG
ROW_ID NAME PR_ADDR_ID OU_ID ROW_ID ADDR CITY
A Acme 1111 A 1111 Elm Street Boston
A 3333 Main Street San Mateo
Base tables
Set Troubleshooting Flags
 Job parameters can override component-level event logging to
create additional information in the log
 Trace Flags = 1
 Records processing steps
 SQL Trace Flags = 8
 Records summary SQL
 Should only be done in test
environment
 Dramatically impedes EIM
performance and generates
large log file
 Error Flags = 1
 Records details regarding
failed rows

Run Deletes
 To eliminate records produced by incorrect runs or to delete
unneeded data
 Example:
Deletes rows from

S_PROD_INT that match
rows on EIM_PROD_INT that
match the criteria

Populate Extension Columns
 To populate base table extension columns through EIM:
 Add an extension column to the EIM table
 Map the EIM column to the base column
 Test the mapping by running EIM on the server
 Use the Interface Table Mapping wizard
EIM Base
table table
EIM Base
Extension Extension
Column Column

Create Mappings for Extension Columns and Tables
 Update EIM table mappings to include columns or tables you
have added using the Interface Table Mapping wizard
 Select the table in Tools, right-click, select EIM Table
Mapping… and complete the wizard
Specify base table Specify a unique prefix for interface table

columns created for mapping extension columns
Select the interface table you want

to map to the extension table or column

Summary
This module showed you how to:

 Use configuration file parameters to enhance performance
 Set troubleshooting flags
 Run deletes
 Extend interface (EIM) tables to support base table
column extensions

Lab
 In the lab you will:
 Load product data into the interface table
 Import product data from the interface table to base tables using
enhanced configuration parameters and troubleshooting flags
 Delete product data from the interface table
