This activity is used to analyze eventual integration messages that occur during the data analysis or during the integration between IFS Applications and Primavera Project Management. To have a successful integration it is necessary to create projects that follow the requirements of the integration and the business logic of both applications. When issues arise in the data analysis or integration, integration messages will give you valuable information in order to rectify data in IFS/Project or Primavera.
The messages are presented in the Integration Messages window and are of two types; data analysis messages and data exception messages.
Data analysis messages are the result of running the data analysis functionality. The analysis will check for the most fundamental differences in business logic between IFS/Project and Primavera. Executing the data analysis functionality is a recommended part of the process of integrating data. It will give information about data that may need to be rectified before running the integration, in order for the integration to be successful.
Data exception messages are information about exceptions that occurred during an integration. The data exception message indicates that an object was not successfully inserted or updated which is often due a violation of a business rule.
The integration messages are presented in the client with information that is useful when analyzing the reason for them.
More information on integration messages are given in Integration to
Primavera Project Management – Messages.
