Maintain the OneList configuration tables via transaction /IQX/OL_CONFIG
.
Note 1: If the above-mentioned transaction does not exist, then follow the instructions for the previous version below.
Note 2: Use the configuration / development development client, and transport this configuration to subsequent systems like QA and the Productive system. If you have a development Unit Test client, use SCC1 to copy the config from the configuration client..
Note that there is a sequence to be followed, as per the tree structure, shown below:
...
OneList Endpoint configuration
Add entries for each of the systems in your SAP landscape. When you save this information, SAP will prompt you for a transport request. This will enable you to transport the entries to your Quality Assurance and Productive systems, as well as importing into your Development Unit Testing Client.
...
There is a transaction (/IQX/OL_ENDPOINT
) that can be run in the 'active' clients (Unit Test, QA and PRD) to maintain these values directly in the active/target system. This should only be used when emergency maintenance needs to be performed (DOS attack, etc.). The changed values should be copied back into the configuration client and added to a new transport.
...
In the transaction /IQX/OL_ENDPOINT
there is a 'Connection Test' option to check for the correctness of the URL and API key. This can be executed in each system:
or

In FAB 3.3 release, the framework was improved should be resilient to terminate the long-running job after a period of time, i.e. 10hrs ~ 36000 seconds. This will make stuck background jobs to be restarted so next scheduler can continue on another round of background jobs. Configuring time-out period per OPS type would look like this:
...
OneList Integration configuration
Note that you will (only once) have to configure a User integration entry. You . (If no value is specified, the default value is 86400 seconds/1day).
...
OneList Operation jobs configuration
Since IQX Component version 3.2.3, OneList framework introduces new operation job configuration in which the framework will check whether it is required to create the subsequent scenario based adapter jobs based on the available data of each TaskType/Adapter.
...
OneList Integration configuration
Note that you will (only once) have to configure a User integration entry. You may end up with multiple processes integrating with OneList, each of which will require their own entry here (and follow-on entries - see below). It does not matter how many processes you integrate with OneList, you will only need to do this step once - the processes all share the user integration. Add an entry to synchronise the SAP users with OneList, as follows (and note that the Task ID and the Fab Layout form entries remain empty):
...
Paging Size" refers to the number of tasks that will be sent to OneList at one time - if this number is too large, then your integration activities may suffer from performance degradation.
...
OneList Job Configuration
User Sync
Highlight the User integration entry (configured above, and remember this is only done once):
...
Then double-click the 'OneList Job configuration' entry in the tree structure. Configuring this step allows the Adapter framework to communicate with the OneList instance, specifically for user integration. IQX has provided a standard user integration Adapter class (/IQX/CL_OL_SYNC_USERS
), but in rare circumstances your organisation may need to alter the behaviour of this class. In that case, you will have to create a subclass of this class (see step 1 above, under SAP Development tasks) and override the relevant methods to suit your needs. In that case, instead of /IQX/CL_OL_SYNC_USERS
, use the name of your subclass in the below configuration steps.
You will need to define entries for the SYNC_USER_REQUEST
and SYNC_USER_REQUEST_DELTA
OneList User DELTA
OneList User Integration APIs/Actions. For each entry, specify:
Adapter Class name: /IQX/CL_OL_SYNC_USERS, or your user integration subclass
Frequency in minutes: how often the background job calling this OneList API should run. We recommend between 5 and 30 minutes.
Active - A flag to set whether this job should run. During specific scenarios (shutdown, data take-on, etc.) you may want to disable individual API calls. Normal value will be ticked.
...
SYNC_ACTIONS
...
SYNC_ATTACHMENTS
...
SYNC_CHANGED_TASK_LIST
...
Adapter Class name: your class created above, for example ZCL_OL_PO_ADAPTER
...
Frequency in minutes: how often the background job calling this OneList API should run. We recommend between 1 and 5 minutes at most.
...
With the above in place, the background job defined in the first step will create a background job per integration task type, at the specified frequency. The 'SYNC*' methods (described above) will call the methods you have redefined in your custom Adapter class, thereby enabling the extraction of data from the SAP Workflow / SAP objects (which will be sent to OneList) and the return flow of the OneList Actions to the SAP Workflow / SAP Objects.

IQX will provide the values that need to be entered for the OneList URL and API Key.
All entries should be marked as 'active' under normal circumstances. The OneList Adapter will dynamically determine the correct URL and API key based on the system that it is running in. Only in unusual situations will the endpoint be marked as inactive, but then the Adapter will not be able to call the OneList instance in the relevant system.

Next, add an entry for the FAB process you want to integrate between SAP and OneList. You will need to specify the App name (IQX_FAB_APP in this example).

Then double-click the 'OneList Job configuration' entry in the tree structure.

Then double-click the 'OneList Job configuration' entry in the tree structure. Configuring this step provides a link between your SAP Adapter class (for example ZCL_OL_PO_ADAPTER, created above) and the IQX OneList SAP Adapter framework. For each entry defined here, the Adapter framework will create a background job at the specified frequency, thereby pushing / pulling data to and from OneList. You will need to define entries for the following 4 OneList Integration APIs/Actions:
SYNC_ACTIONS
SYNC_ATTACHMENTS
SYNC_CHANGED_TASK_LIST
SYNC_DELTA_TASK_LIST
For each entry, specify:Adapter Class name: your class created above, for example ZCL_OL_SRVC_ENTRY_SHEET_ADPT
Frequency in minutes: how often the background job calling this OneList API should run. We recommend between 1 and 5 minutes at most.
Active - A flag to set whether this job should run. During specific scenarios (shutdown, data take-on, etc.) you may want to disable individual API calls. Normal value will be ticked.
