Supported Entities/Operations

Sage 300 Connections support one module each. Separate metadata is loaded for each module and does not contain any indication of which operations are supported for each entity. Therefore, each operation block displays all entities for the Connection, but some entities may not actually support the operation. For example, the AP1099Accounts entity only supports Query, but it displays as an option in all operation blocks. Refer to the Sage 300 API documentation for detailed information on each entity and the operations supported.

Supported Entities And Operations By Module

More modules and entities could be added to the Sage 300 API at any time and display in TIBCO Scribe® Online. Modules included in this document are as follows:

Standard Operations

Standard operations for Sage 300 entities include:

Special Operations

Setup Considerations

Entities

You must have a separate Connection to Sage 300 for each module you want to access, such as AR - Accounts Receivable or AP - Accounts Payable. Once the Connection has been configured, the entities included in that module can be accessed by TIBCO Scribe® Online.

User

Users must have Web API rights in Sage 300 for each module they want to access.

Selecting An Agent Type For Sage 300

Refer to TIBCO Scribe® Online Agents for information on available Agent types and how to select the best Agent for your Solution.

Connecting To Sage 300

Note: Best practice is to create Connections with credentials that limit permissions in the target system, following the principle of least privilege. Using Administrator level credentials in a Connection provides Administrator level access to the target system for TIBCO Scribe® Online users. Depending on the entities supported, a TIBCO Scribe® Online user could alter user accounts in the target system.

  1. Select More > Connections from the menu.
  2. From the Connections page select Add to open the Add a New Connection dialog.
  3. Select the Connector from the drop-down list in the Connection Type field, and then enter the following information for this Connection:
    • Name — This can be any meaningful name, up to 25 characters.
    • Alias — An alias for this Connection name. The alias is generated from the Connection name, and can be up to 25 characters. The Connection alias can include letters, numbers, and underscores. Spaces and special characters are not accepted. You can change the alias. For more information, see Connection Alias.
    • OData Service URL — Address of any acceptable URL where the Sage 300 OData service is located.

      Note: Only one module can be specified in the OData Service URL. Configure a new Connection for each module you need to access, such as Accounts Receivable (AR) or Accounts Payable (AP).

      Example: http://sage300/Sage300WebApi/v1.0/-/<yourcompany>/AR

    • User — Name of the user with rights to access the Sage 300 OData service .
    • Password — Password for User, if your Sage 300 OData service requires authentication.

      For more information on OData, see your endpoint provider.

  4. Select Test to ensure that the Agent can connect to your database. Be sure to test the Connection against all Agents that use this Connection. See Testing Connections.
  5. Select OK/Save to save the Connection.

Metadata Notes

OData Metadata

Only supported OData data types appear in TIBCO Scribe® Online. The following data types are not supported by this Connector:

Naming

Connection metadata must have unique entity, relationship, and field names. If your Connection metadata has duplicate names, review the source system to determine if the duplicates can be renamed.

Relationships

Retry Logic

When a timeout occurs, the Connector retries three times with the following delays in between:

Sage 300 Connector As IS Source

Consider the following when using the Sage 300 Connector as an IS source.

Filtering

Supports Net Change.

When a datetime is configured on the Query Block on the Block Properties Net Change Tab to query for new and updated records, that configuration is treated as an additional filter. The Net Change datetime filter is applied as an AND after any other filters specified on the Block Properties Filter Tab. TIBCO Scribe® Online builds a query combining both the Net Change filter and the filters on the Filter tab. See Net Change And Filters for an example.

Some Connectors for TIBCO Scribe® Online only support one filter. For those Connectors you can use either Net Change or one filter on the Filter tab, not both.

Note: The Net Change date is ignored when previewing data on the Preview tab. Filters on the Block Properties Filters tab are used to filter the data on the Preview tab.

Net Change And DateTime Fields

Net Change uses DateTime fields to locate new and updated records and stores the DateTime value of the last record processed. The next time the Solution runs, the Query Block requests records with a DateTime that is greater than the DateTime value of the last record processed. Sage 300 only stores the date value, but not the time. When using Net Change with date only fields, running a Solution another time on the same day causes new and updated records for that day to be skipped. For example, if you run a Solution on 10/15/2020 at 10 AM and the last record processed has a date of 10/15/2020, when the Solution runs again on 10/15/2020 at 9 PM, any records updated or created between 10 AM and 9 PM are skipped because Net Change is requesting records with a date greater than 10/15/2020.

Best practice is to schedule the Solution to run once a day after all records have been created or modified for the day to process all of the records for that day. For example, if your business day ends at 6 PM, schedule the Solution to run after 6 PM to ensure all records for the day are processed. Another option is to disable Net Change and configure a filter on the Filters tab.

Sage 300 Connector As IS Target

Consider the following when using the Sage 300 Connector as an IS target.

Batch processing is not supported.
