DataMap Overview _________________________
The SyteLine DataMap is an analytical tool designed to help you learn and analyze
relationships between SyteLine forms, collections, stored procedures, and database
schema. It also allows you to track and record changes you make using user-defined fields
or otherwise modifying the standard product. The DataMap consists of a set of Microsoft
Excel spreadsheets that list SyteLine ERP forms and fields and their data relationships,
default authorization levels, CRM mapping, and so on.
The DataMap is a tool, not standard documentation. As such, it is not warranted to exactly
match the schema and forms, but it does closely approximate the supported SyteLine ERP
version at the time the DataMap was created.

DataMap Spreadsheets
The DataMap includes these spreadsheets. Each spreadsheet is described in more detail,
with sample data, in the following pages.

Spreadsheet Description
Form-Collection Lists forms in SyteLine ERP, and both the component name and the label for
most fields on each form. Then it lists the data source (collection and object
or variable) for the form/component combination. Help on fields or forms is
also available through a button.
Collection- Lists the modules (IDOs), collections, and collection properties (usually
Schema objects) found in the application database. Then, where applicable, it lists
the underlying database tables and columns relating to collection/object
pairs.
Schema- Lists the properties for the application database tables and their columns
Properties (base data type, user-defined type, storage length, precision, scale, default
value, whether the data allows nulls, and whether the column is a primary
key).
Form-Folder For each form, lists the Explorer folder and subfolder where that form is
found.
Form-Group- For each form, lists the group authorization that is set by default. You can
Authorization filter and sort either by group or by form.
Form-Events For each form, lists the possible events and responses.
SL-CRM-Map Lists, in separate worksheet tabs, the SyteLine ERP and CRM database
tables and fields whose data may be exchanged through XML request and
response documents or flat-file transfers.
Collection- For most collections, lists any methods/stored procedures used in the
Method collection, and the parameters used in the methods.
Rpt-Form-SP For each report form, lists the background task, .RPT (Crystal Reports) file
and the SQL stored procedures used in the report.

DataMap Overview

Form-Collection

The Form-Collection spreadsheet has these columns:

Form Name - SyteLine ERP form. This is the "hungarianized" form name, not the title.
Component Name - The underlying component name for the field, which you see
when you go into Edit mode on the form and double-click on the field.

The following component types are not included in the spreadsheet,

because they do not logically map to data sources: static, groupbox,
pushbutton, defpushbutton, toolbar button, notebook, tab, and grid. If a
form has no components other than the types listed here, that form does
not appear in the spreadsheet.

Label - The field label. An asterisk * indicates a description for an unlabeled field (for
example, Account Unit Code 1 *).

Since field labels can be derived from various areas of the application, the
field labels you see on your forms may not match the labels in the
spreadsheet. Not all field labels appear in this spreadsheet.

Primary Collection - The application does not directly connect to the database. It
uses "collections" to compile the data. Once you know the primary data source (usually
a collection), and the name of the object in the collection, you can usually determine
the database table and field from which the field derives. Examples and explanations
of primary collection values are shown on page 2-4.
Data Element - The direct source of the data, usually the component in the collection
that relates to the field on the form. Examples and explanations of data element values
are shown on page 2-5.
Container - In some cases, a value in this column may help you find the field on the
form. For example, if the container name is "GeneralTab" you could find the field on
the forms General tab.
Help ID and Help File - Used internally to find the proper help topic to display when
you click the Help button. These columns are hidden by default.
Collection-Schema

The Collection-Schema spreadsheet has the columns listed below. Used in conjunction
with the Form-Collection spreadsheet, this information can help you find the underlying
schema for a field on a form.

1-2 SyteLine ERP DataMap Guide

2006, Infor Global Solutions, Inc.
 DataMap Overview

Module - The module (IDO) to which the collection belongs.

Collection - Collections belonging to the application are listed in this spreadsheet.

Collections that are part of the framework may not be included in this
spreadsheet; however, you may be able to use the combination of the
MGCore collection name (usually similar to the schema table name) and
object (usually similar to the schema field name) in the Forms-Collections
table to find the related database table and field.

Property - The property in the collection. If this property is a bound object, it relates to
a database schema table and field.
Property Type - Determines whether the property is bound to a table/column. If the
property type is Derived, the Property Value column may contain useful information.
Table - Database schema table (if any) that contains the schema column that maps to
this collection and object.
Column - Database schema column (if any) that maps to this collection and object.
Property Value - May contain useful information for properties whose type is Derived.
Schema-Properties
The Schema-Properties spreadsheet describes the application database table and
column properties. This information is similar to what you see when you right-click and
select Properties for a database table in SQL Enterprise Manager.

This spreadsheet shows the following information:

Table Name - Application database schema table.
Column Name - Column in the table.
Base Type - SQL base data type for values in this column.
User Defined Data Type - The name that Infor has defined for a particular combination
of Base Type, Precision, and Scale.
Length - The number of bytes used to hold the data.
Precision - The number of digits in a number value.
Scale - The number of digits to the right of the decimal point. For example, the number
321.40 has a precision of 5 and a scale of 2.
Nullable - Indicates whether the column can contain NULL values.
Default - The default value, if any, for the column.
Primary Key - Indicates whether this column is a primary key for the table and, if there
are multiple keys for the table, their hierarchy.

Your custom database tables or columns, or any other changes made to the
database after the DataMap was created, will not appear in this spreadsheet
unless you add them manually. To view up-to-date schema information, print
SyteLine ERPs Database Schema Report.

SyteLine ERP DataMap Guide 1-3

2006, Infor Global Solutions, Inc.
DataMap Overview

Form-Folder
The Form-Folder spreadsheet tells where in SyteLine ERPs Explorer folder hierarchy you
can find certain forms. The Main Folder is sometimes, but not always, equivalent to the
name of a module or IDO. The Sub Folder, if any, indicates an additional layer of folders
in the Explorer. The Parent Folder is the folder containing the form.

Non-entrypoint forms (those that open only from within another form) do not
appear in this list, because they do not appear in the Explorer folder hierarchy.

Form-Group-Authorization
The Form-Group-Authorization spreadsheet lists the default group authorizations set up
for SyteLine ERP, and the forms to which the groups apply. You can sort or filter this
information by either group or form.

There is a Notes column to the right of the Form Name that may contain useful information.
For example, some group authorizations are not tied directly to a form, but influence the
users ability to perform a function such as changing a status. This is explained in the notes.
Form-Events
The Form-Events spreadsheet lists the events, sequences, and responses available from
each form.

1-4 SyteLine ERP DataMap Guide

2006, Infor Global Solutions, Inc.
 DataMap Overview

SL-CRM-Map
The SL-CRM-Map spreadsheet maps the CRM adapters and CRM database to SyteLine
ERP database table.columns, where appropriate. It includes a tab for each SyteLine - CRM
adapter. Each tab includes the following information:

XML data elements used in the adapter, and descriptions of the data elements.
CRM database table and column to which the element maps.
SyteLine ERP database table and column to which the element maps.
Collection-Method
The Collection-Method spreadsheet lists the module (IDO) to which a collection belongs
and the methods/stored procedures used in the collection. It also lists parameter
information for each method. There may be some collections not represented in this
spreadsheet.

Rpt-Form-SP
Since reports generally do not have associated collections, the Rpt-Form-SP spreadsheet
provides information about the stored procedures, background tasks, and RPT (Crystal
Reports) files associated with reports. A report form may be associated with multiple tasks,
stored procedures and RPT files.

DataMap Overview

Relationships Between the Data in the Spreadsheets

The colors and arrows in this picture indicate the relationships between data in the different
spreadsheets. For example, you can use the Form-Collection spreadsheet to find the
relationship of a field on a form to an object in a collection, and then use the Collection-
Schema spreadsheet to find the relationship of that collection object to a database
table.column, and then use the Schema-Properties spreadsheet to find the properties of
that table.column.

DataMap Procedures _______________________
This chapter describes in detail some of the tasks you can perform using the DataMap.

Starting the DataMap

To start the DataMap, place the CD in the drive and double-click on any of the
spreadsheets. The spreadsheets are described in Chapter 1, DataMap Overview."
If prompted, select Enable Macros. Your systems security settings may not allow macros
to run. If so, see the information in the README file on the DataMap CD.

Copying and Modifying the DataMap

The files on the CD are read-only files. To modify them:
1. Copy all the files from the CD to your computer. The Help buttons underlying macro
assumes the related help files are in a subdirectory named "Help" under the
spreadsheets directory. The files require at least 50 MB of disk space.
2. For the spreadsheet copies on your computer, change the file permissions to writable.
3. Open the writable spreadsheets from the directory on your computer.

Using the DataMap

You will probably come up with other ways to use the DataMap, but the following
suggestions provide a starting point. Additional information is provided on the pages listed
below.

DataMap Procedures

Customizing SyteLine ERP

Customize SyteLine ERP Forms and Field Labels
SyteLine ERP allows you to customize your forms by changing field labels, adding fields,
or moving fields to different tabs.
Make a writable copy of the DataMap files and change your copy of the Form-Collection
spreadsheet to match the changes you make to the SyteLine ERP forms. This gives you
a record of your custom fields and the schema fields or variables to which they map.

We recommend that you add a "Notes" column to the DataMap spreadsheets,

where you can note any changes you make to a row. Then, if you upgrade to a
new version of the DataMap, you can more easily find and copy your
customizations into the new spreadsheets.

Customize SyteLine ERP Help Topics

You can create your own documentation for SyteLine ERP screens and fields (perhaps
describing procedures specific to your company or industry) by modifying the SyteLine
ERP online help. For more information, see the SyteLine ERP online help topic
"Customizing the SyteLine Help."
The Form-Collection spreadsheet has two hidden columns containing the Help ID and
HelpFile for field help topics. These columns are used in the spreadsheet to display a help
topic when you click the Help button. However, you may also find the Help ID and helpfile
information useful when customizing the help, since it displays the help context number
called when a user requests help in a field.

Searching for a Field

The Form-Collection spreadsheet lists all forms and their components (with the exceptions
listed on page 1-2).
Because field labels may be customized or nonexistent, the best way to find all occurrences
of a field is to filter the ComponentName column for similar names. For example, to list
forms where a "Bank Code" field appears:
1. Right-click on the down-arrow next to the ComponentName column heading.
2. Select Custom from the list.
3. In the Custom Auto Filter dialog, specify the text and wildcards you want (in this case,
select contains and type BankCode, then click OK).

2-2 SyteLine ERP DataMap Guide

2006, Infor Global Solutions, Inc.
 DataMap Procedures

4. The DataMap then displays only the rows where the ComponentName column
contains the text you specified.

5. Be sure to un-filter again later by selecting All from the columns drop-down box.

Normally in Excel, the Auto-Filter dropdown box lists all the different values
from the columns rows, and you select one. Because we have pushed Excel
beyond its normal limits, our dropdown filter may NOT list all available values.
Use the Custom option on the dropdown box, as shown above, to filter for a
specific value.

Searching for a Fields Data Source

This may require the use of two spreadsheets to drill down to the database level.
1. Find the fields component name by going into edit mode on the form and double-
clicking the field.

Your ability to go into edit mode may be limited by your editing

permissions.

2. Open the Form-Collection spreadsheet and filter to display the form and component
from step 1.

3. Look at the Primary Collection and Data Element values.

Primary Collection - The application does not directly connect to the database. It
uses "collections" to compile the data. Once you know the primary data source,
which is usually a collection, and the name of the object in the collection, you can
usually determine the database table and field from which the field derives. The
Primary Collection column generally contains a value similar to one of the
examples on the next page.

SyteLine ERP DataMap Guide 2-3

2006, Infor Global Solutions, Inc.
DataMap Procedures

Data Element - The direct source of the data, usually the component in the
collection that relates to the field on the form. This column generally contains a
value similar to one of the examples on page 2-5.
The spreadsheets Primary Collection and Data Element generally contain the names
you see on the Form Component Properties dialogs Data tab when you click the
Binding button:

Primary Collection Examples:

SL.SLCustomers(xxxxx)

"SL" indicates that this "SLCustomers" is If the collection name is followed by

DataMap Procedures

4. If the data source is a bound object related to a collection in the application, you can
find its underlying database table and column by opening the Collection-Schema
spreadsheet and filtering for the collection and object.
Continuing the previous example, the collection name from the Primary Collection
column is SLCustomers. The object name from the Data Element column is CorpCust.
If you open the Collection-Schema spreadsheet and filter for these values, you see this
row:

Collections that are part of the framework, rather than the SyteLine
application, may not be included in this spreadsheet. However, you may
be able to use the combination of the MGCore collection name (usually
similar to the schema table name) and object (usually similar to the
schema field name) in the Form-Collections spreadsheet to find the related
database table and column.

Finding Database Schema Details

If you want to know the properties (data type, precision, scale, nullability, and default value)
of a specific database table.column, open the Schema-Properties spreadsheet and filter for
that table and column. This spreadsheet also indicates whether a column is a primary key
for the table.

For definitions of the spreadsheet column headings, see page 1-3.

Your custom database tables or columns, or any other changes made to the
database after the DataMap was created, will not appear in this spreadsheet
unless you add them manually. To view up-to-date schema information, print
SyteLine ERPs Database Schema Report.

Using the DataMap with SyteLine Workflow Automation

If your system includes SyteLine Workflow Automation, use the Collection-Schema and
Form-Collection spreadsheets to determine the fields and forms where the data listed in
your workflow appears. In addition, the Schema-Properties spreadsheet is useful for cross-
checking and verification of data types and names.

2-6 SyteLine ERP DataMap Guide

 DataMap Procedures

Getting Help on a Field

If you are using the Form-Collection spreadsheet and need a definition or description of a
component, you can get help.
1. Select the field in the DataMap:

2. Click the Help button. This displays the SyteLine Help for that field:

If you get an error message that macros are not enabled, change the security level in
Excel as described in the README file on the DataMap CD.
3. You can go from the displayed help topic to any other topic in the SyteLine online help.

Help may not be available for hidden components, menu options, or

components that appear on read-only grids.

Finding Program Information for Forms

There are three spreadsheets that contain program information relating to forms,
collections, and reports:
Form-Events
Collection-Method
Rpt-Form-SP
Events Used in a Form
You can filter the Form-Events spreadsheet to show either:
Forms where a specific event is used, or
Events used in a specific form

The response, sequence, and response type for each event is also listed.

The sequence number helps to distinguish occurrences of an event when the event
appears more than once in a form.
The response types are listed below. For more information about response types, see the
Winstudio online help (in SyteLine ERP, select Help>Customizing Forms and select the
index entry Response Types.)

Finding Which Form Calls a Modal Form

If you know the name of a modal form (for example, ShippedCustomerOrdersSelection),
but you do not know which form it is being called from, use the Form-Events spreadsheet
to find out. In the Response column, filter for the modal form name (for example, specify
"contains shippedcust"). This displays:
the parent form name (in our example, DeliveryOrderLineSequences)
the event name, which usually indicates the button or menu option that does the calling
the response type (in our example, "Run form as modal child").
Methods and Stored Procedures Used by a Collection
First, use the Form-Collection spreadsheet to find the collection, if any, associated with a
form. (Some forms, for example most reports, do not have associated collections.)
Then open the Collection-Method spreadsheet and filter for the collection. The methods/
stored procedures used in the collection are displayed, along with their parameters.

Some notes about methods:

Method names are often, but not always, the same as the stored procedure names.
Not all methods map to stored procedures.
There is not necessarily a correlation between the methods used by a form and the
collection used by the form. A form bound to the SLCustomers collection does not have
to use any of the methods contained in SLCustomers, and the form can use methods
from other collections.
Stored Procedures Used by Reports
The Rpt-Form-SP spreadsheet lists the report forms, the related background task and
stored procedures, and the Crystal Reports RPT file(s) associated with the report.

To filter for a specific stored procedure or RPT file (where there may be more than one SP
or RPT listed for a form):
1. Right-click on the down-arrow next to the Stored Procedure or RPT column heading.
2. Select Custom from the list.

3. In the Custom Auto Filter dialog, specify the text and wildcards you want to look for.

Finding Which SyteLine ERP Fields Map to CRM Adapter

XML Elements
CRM adapters are used to create an interface between SyteLine ERP and CRM.
1. Display the SL-CRM-Map.xls spreadsheet.
This spreadsheet lists all the SyteLine ERP database table.columns and the adapters
where they are mapped.

2. Select a link in the Overview, or click the tabs at the bottom of the spreadsheet, to go
to the worksheet that shows the appropriate adapters XML mapping.

The following tab/worksheets are available:

Customer - CRM to ERP
Customer - ERP to CRM
Product - ERP to CRM
Inventory - ERP to CRM
Order - CRM to ERP
Order Status - ERP to CRM
Quote - CRM to ERP

3. To find out which XML elements in the adapter a specific table.column maps to, find
the table and column in the worksheet.
For more information about the adapters or about the integration between SyteLine ERP
and CRM, see the guide titled SyteLine ERP Integration with CRM, Customer Center, and
Supply Chain Management.

Determining Authorization Levels for Forms

The Form-Group-Authorization spreadsheet lists default group authorizations by form.
These authorizations are already set up in SyteLine ERP. If you change the groups or add
new ones, you can keep track of the changes in this spreadsheet.

You can filter the spreadsheet to show:

All groups that allow access to a specific form.
All forms that can be accessed by a specific group.

Finding a Form in the Explorer

If you want to know where to find the form in the Explorer hierarchy of folders, use the Form-
Folder spreadsheet.

SyteLine ERP DataMap Guide 2-11

2006, Infor Global Solutions, Inc.
DataMap Procedures

The Main Folder is usually, but not always, the module. The Subfolder, if any, indicates an
additional layer of folders in the Explorer.The Parent Folder indicates the type of form (as
well as the subfolder in the Explorer). You can filter or sort by any of the columns.

Non-entrypoint forms (those that open only from within another form) do not
appear in this list, because they do not appear in the Explorer folder hierarchy.
