We are under JDE 8.12 Tools 8.98.2.3 and an AS400 V6R1.
We are now using Oracle Data Ingrator 11G.
I would like to know how and where to send using ODI this XML to make JDE execute my call?

Answer 1

This is from Oracle.
Please mark the answer as correct if you think it's right.
JXMLTool (EnterpriseOne 8.98)
Introduction:
The JXMLTool is a GUI tool developed by Global Support Services to submit XML requests to ERP enterprise servers. The tool can be used to verify the integrity of the ERP services (kernel configuration, BSFN processing, among others) when testing inbound integrations from XPI and/or other third party systems to ERP. This document contains instructions on how to install and configure the tool.
Installation and Configuration:
1) Verify that a supported Java Development Kit (JDK) is installed in the workstation to be used in the test (for example, verify that JDK 1.4.2 is installed).
Note: It is recommended that the workstation also have an EnterpriseOne 8.12 full client package installed.
2) Create a new directory in the workstation (for example, C:\JXMLTool).
3) Copy the following files from the Deployment server to the directory created in step 2:
e812\system\classes\Base_JAR.jar
e812\system\classes\JdeNet_JAR.jar
e812\system\classes\System_JAR.jar
e812\system\classes\log4j.jar
e812\system\classes\xerces.jar
e812\system\classes\xalan.jar
e812\system\classes\ManagementAgent_JAR.jar
e812\system\classes\jmxri.jar
e812\system\classes\commons-httpclient-3.0.jar
e812\system\classes\commons-logging.jar
e812\system\classes\ xmlparserv2.jar
e812\system\classes\ jmxremote_optional.jar
e812\system\Classes\samples\jdeinterop.ini.templ
e812\system\Classes\samples\jdelog.properties
Note: If you have multiple-foundation implemented in the system, make sure the files you are copying match the service pack level installed in the enterprise server.
4) Rename jdeinterop.ini.templ to jdeinterop.ini. Modify the jdeinterop.ini file copied in step 3 to reflect the correct enterprise server name:
a) Ensure that parameters glossaryTextServer in [SERVER] section, serviceNameConnect in [JDENET] section, and enterpriseServer, port in [INTEROP] section specify the correct enterprise server name and JDENET port number).
b) Configure the value of Repository under [INTEROP] section such that it points to the directory created in step 2 (for example, “Repository= C:\JXMLTool”).
c) Ensure that parameter SecurityServer in [SECURITY] section specify the correct security server.
d) Configure OCMEnabled to “false” in [OCM] section.
e) Add the parameter netTrace to [JDENET] section and configure its value as “1” (for example, “netTrace=1”)
5) Rename jdelog.properties.templ to jdelog.properties. Modify the jdelog.properties file to reflect the characteristics of the machine:
a) Ensure that jdelog.handler.JDELOG.File points to directory created in step 2 (for example, jdelog.handler.JDELOG.File=C:/JXMLTool/jderoot.log).
b) Ensure that jdelog.handler.JASLOG.File points to directory created in step 2 (for example, jdelog.handler.JASLOG.File=C:/JXMLTool/jas.log).
c) Remove comment marks from parameters jdelog.Debug, jdelog.handler.jasdebug, jdelog.handler.jasdebug.File, and jdelog.handler.jasdebug.Level.
c) Ensure that jdelog.handler.jasdebug.File points to directory created in step 2 (for example, jdelog.handler.jasdebug.File=C:/JXMLTool/jasdebug.log).
6) Create a new text file using the text editor of your choice (for example, Notepad).
7)Paste the following text to the new document:
@echo off
REM Edit this file to the locations for Java and EnterpriseOne
REM JDK root directory
set JAVA_HOME=C:\j2sdk1.4.2_12
set PATH=C:\j2sdk1.4.2_12\bin
REM EnterpriseOne Windows client install path
set OneWorld_HOME=C:\e812
REM This directory
set EXAMPLES=C:\Interop\JXMLTool
REM Set the CLASSPATH environment variable.
REM The following are libraries that are needed for Connector samples:
set CLASSPATH=Base_JAR.jar
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;C:\Interop\JXMLTool\
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;C:\Interop\JXMLTool\JXMLTool.class
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;JdeNet_JAR.jar
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;System_JAR.jar
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;log4j.jar
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;xerces.jar
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;xalan.jar
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;ManagementAgent_JAR.jar
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;jmxri.jar
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;commons-httpclient-3.0.jar
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;commons-logging.jar
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;xmlparserv2.jar
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;jmxremote_optional.jar
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;%OneWorld_HOME%\system\classes\
a) Ensure that "set JAVA_HOME" command sets the variable with correct path to JDK directory (for example, "set JAVA_HOME=c:\jdk142").
b) Configure value of OneWorld_HOME such that it points to the directory where OneWorld® is installed (for example, “set OneWorld_HOME=C:\e812”).
c) Ensure that "set EXAMPLES" command sets the variable with the correct path to directory created in step 2 (for example, "set EXAMPLES=C:\JXMLTool").
d) Configure value of JDEINTEROPINI such that it points to the jdeinterop.ini file you copied in step 3 (for example,
“set JDEINTEROPINI=%EXAMPLES%\jdeinterop.ini”).
e) Append the path of the bin directory of the JDK to the PATH variable. For example, add the following line:
“set PATH=%JAVA_HOME%\bin”
8) Save the file as setenv.bat in the directory created in step 2 (for example, C:\JXMLTool\setEnv.bat).
9) Create a new text file using the text editor of your choice (for example, Notepad).
10) Paste the following text to the new document:
