TransitionWorks Adapters

Posting to ERP Systems

Adapter for BPCS

The Adapter for BPCS facilitates posting data into the BPCS ERP system and runs natively on the iSeries platform. It leverages the high speed framework of our TransitionWorks BPCS adapter technology (Application Integration Enabler–AIE) and bundles super fast posting programs that utilize the existing BPCS capabilities. Our Adapter for BPCS (AFB) supports several versions of BPCS including: 4.05CD, 6.x, 8.x and ERP LX. It consists of a series of RPG ILE programs that either wrapper existing BPCS posting programs or interface directly with BPCS to provide information related to Inventory, Labor, and Order Management activities.

The Adapter for BPCS is built upon the TWS AIE platform. AIE is a message-oriented framework that sends and receives messages via a variety of optional methods including Websphere MQ queues and iSeries data queues. This approach provides a stable and complete method of asynchronous and synchronous communication enabling support for both real time solutions, as well as, batch-based systems. For data synchronization, AIE provides an optional database trigger processor that allows the definition of triggers on the server's native database that can be messaged to any external environment. This is usually used for event notification or data replication applications. AIE works natively with the iSeries platform and the DB2 database.
