The integration between IFS Developer Studio and the IFS Planning and Scheduling Optimization (PSO) systems offers a framework within which a developer can easily create and maintain integrations between any area of IFS Applications that wants to use the IFS PSO. The integration achieves this by creating a well-defined mapping between the scheduling databases with a model generated by IFS Developer Studio.
To create an integration from any area in IFS Applications to IFS PSO, a scheduling model can be created. This essentially contains definitions of mappings to data tables in scheduling schemata, using 'Data Fetch Rules' that can be written by using IFS Developer Studio.
The pl/sql code to generate the xml data required to integrate to IFS PSO is then automatically generated and updated from the scheduling model template.
