  • Understand and explain the techniques and tools available for integration with the Enactor solution
  • Understand the key data structures used for inbound master data integration and outbound transaction and event data integration
  • Understand the sources of information available to provide examples and reference documentation on which to base integration designs and development

Attendee Numbers and Duration​

The course is recommended for 4-6 attendees, with a maximum of 8. The duration of the course is two days.

Overview of Sessions​

The sessions provided comprise:

  • Data Architecture
  • Broadcasting and System Updates
  • Enactor Approach to Integration
  • Master Data Integration
  • Transaction Data Integration
  • Messaging Queue and Transaction Flow

Targeted Attendees​

The attendees of the training are expected to be those who will be actively involved in Enactor Integration and Solution Delivery projects, including:

  • Integration Developers
  • Application Developers
  • Technical Architects
  • Systems Engineers
  • Application Specialists

Prerequisites​

Attendees should have a good understanding of Retail Systems concepts, particularly Point of Sale/Service and Merchandise Management. Completion of, or familiarity with, the Introduction to Enactor training course is recommended. Experience with integration technologies (REST APIs, XML, messaging queues) would be useful but not essential.

Infrastructure Requirements​

This training will normally be held at the Enactor offices in Hertford. Enactor will supply all required infrastructure. Participants should bring their own laptops so they can get hands-on practice.

Participants will be contacted before the training takes place to confirm they can connect successfully to the training environment from their laptop. It is therefore essential that Enactor receives a list of the attendees and their contact details at least a week in advance of the training start date.

This training can be provided remotely if required. However, holding the course on-site is recommended if possible.
