Geac System21 commerce.connect: Implementation on the iSeries Server

4.2.9 JConnects server

This links vendor.connect back in to System21. Copy the Jacada directory to the root of your
iSeries server. Make sure the files are writable by running the WRKLNK command as
explained earlier.

ConnectorManager.xml

Edit the /VendorConnect/deployed/ConnectorManager.xml file. Change the following entries
as appropriate to your iSeries setup:

      <company>Z1</company>
      <environment>XXX</environment>
.
.
.
      <host>your iSeries</host>
.
.
.
       <user>userid</user>
       <password>password</password>

The user here

must

have access to the 2/AG option within System21 for the company also

specified here. This option must be defined with a date format of D in Application Manager.

AIF .ini files

1. Open the /Jacada/SYS21AIF/classes/appls/SYS21AIF/server/resources/sys21aif.ini

file.

2. At the start of the file, ensure that the RtRootDir is correct:

RtRootDir=/JACADA/SYS21AIF/

3. At the end of the file, change the Host statement to have the correct iSeries name:

After [GUISys TN5250]
.
Host=<youriSeries>

4. Open the /Jacada/SYS21AIF/classes/jacadasv.ini file.

5. Ensure that the RtRootDir value is the same as above.

4.2.10 Setting up new vendor.connect user IDs and supplier IDs

There are two modes in which secure.connect can be run. The first holds the user details as
an XML file called /vendorconnect/deployed/UserDirectory.xml. The second holds the user
details in IBM’s version of Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) called

SecureWay

Obviously, the latter method is the more secure, but it requires an additional process to run,
either on the workstation or on the iSeries.

SecurityManager.xml

You can configure the system to use either method by changing the
/vendorconnect/deployed/SecurityManager.xml file.

vendor.connect uses the authentication context named “DEFAULT” in the
SecurityManager.xml file. This default context, as shipped, is configured to use an LDAP
directory. However, you should verify the following settings:

<authentication_context id="DEFAULT">
