Eclipse SQL Data Replication Overview

The Epicor Eclipse SQL Data Replication (Internet Component Environment) is a software framework for integrating with ERP software. Epicor Eclipse SQL Data Replication uses connections to external datasources to create Business Activity Queries (BAQs). You can use BAQs to build your custom dashboards and deliver them to your users using various tools and integration points, such as Epicor Mobile Access™, Epicor Web Access™ or Microsoft® SharePoint®.

The data you retrieve from an external datasource can be displayed using the various views through the Dashboard program. Updatable dashboards are extensions of the standard dashboard capabilities. When you configure a dashboard to contain an updatable BAQ, the dashboard becomes similar to a data entry program, allowing you to review, enter, and update data within a dashboard you create. Data updatability is supplied by integration of updatable BAQs with Epicor Service Connect workflows.

You can also use BAQs to utilize Enterprise Search, which is an optional search application you can use to retrieve indexed content from within your application and then quickly launch specific programs to display the data returned from the search.

Because of the variety of functionality and possibility for use available within the Epicor Eclipse SQL Data Replication application, this application help system is intended for a wide audience. Managers and administrators can use it to explore and better understand the overall architecture and the functionality, and new users can use the help for quick answers to both program level and field level questions.

Note: Eclipse SQL Replication is available as of Release 8.7.5 and the associated tasks are currently only available in the Eclipse Eterm application.

For Epicor Eclipse, you must first perform the Eclipse data replication to the Sequel Query Language (SQL) Data Warehouse database. Then, all the Eclipse SQL Data Replication tools become available to you. For more information about the Eclipse SQL database replication, see Enabling Data Replication .

 Important: Users are expected to have knowledge of Eclipse user-defined files and how the system uses Eclipse tables. In addition, a basic knowledge of SQL database terminology and use is assumed.
