Formatting Logical IDs

If a local site will communicate with other applications by using BODs, you must specify a logical ID for the local site. The messaging system uses logical IDs to determine which system sent the data and which system should receive the data.

Full Format of a Logical ID

Logical IDs used in association with BODs use this format:

infor.application.instance

where:

  • infor is a constant.
  • application is the type of application (for example, mgapp in all lowercase letters)
  • instance is a value that is unique across all sites. We recommend that you use the local site name in lowercase as the instance.

Where to Specify the Logical ID

In the Sites or Sites/Entities form, if the site will communicate using BODs, specify the logical ID in the local site's Message Bus Logical ID field. For example, if the local site is named OH, and the Mongoose-based application you are using is mgapp, the logical ID is:

infor.mgapp.oh

You must also specify the local site's logical ID as required on other applications that interface using BODs. For instructions about where to specify the logical ID, see the other application's documentation or the appropriate integration guide.
