SYSPRO Harmony
Exploring
This program lets you configure and manage the ERP information that you want to track within SYSPRO.
A conversation post within the SYSPRO Harmony platform.
Rules consist of conditions and actions.
A condition is evaluated and (if true) the SYSPRO Rules Engine initiates the defined actions.
Actions are executed when the conditions of a rule are met.
For example:
These actions range from displaying a Harmony message, to creating a log file in a specific location, or tracking the history of a specific database column.
Starting
You restrict operator access to activities within a program using the Operator Maintenance program.
You can restrict operator access to the fields within a program (configured using the Operator Maintenance program).
You can restrict access to the eSignature transactions within a program at operator, group, role or company level (configured using the Electronic Signature Configuration Setup program). Electronic Signatures provide security access, transaction logging and event triggering that gives you greater control over your system changes.
You can restrict operator access to programs by assigning them to groups and applying access control against the group (configured using the Operator Groups program).
You can restrict operator access to functions within a program using passwords (configured using the Password Definition program). When defined, the password must be entered before you can access the function.
The following configuration options in SYSPRO may affect processing within this program or feature, including whether certain fields and options are accessible.
The Setup Options program lets you configure how SYSPRO behaves across all modules. These settings can affect processing within this program.

Solving
This message is displayed when you try to open the SYSPRO Harmony program and the required setup options haven't been configured.
From the Rules Engine/Harmony tab of the System Setup program ensure that the following setup options are configured:
-
-
Harmony database connection
-
-
Harmony data visibility
This message is displayed when loading the SYSPRO Harmony program, if the services did not install correctly.
Ensure that the SYSPRO 8 e.net Communications Load Balancer is installed and that the SOAP port number used during the install matches that of the Load Balancer EndPoint in the Rules Data Service install wizard.
The Filter beats widget provides a dynamic filter which is dependent on SYSPRO Harmony data. It searches for specific Harmony beats, across all beats in SYSPRO Harmony.
Although it excludes customized trends, the filter criteria are based on content that already exists in SYSPRO Harmony (i.e. beats that have previously been posted) and is not limited to items you are following.
The Filter beats widget is not shown by default, but can be added to SYSPRO Harmony by editing the web view using the Visual Designer.
The following restrictions apply when posting a beat:
-
You can't post a blank or empty beat.
-
Text is case-sensitive when using the @ symbol and the # (hashtag) to tag users, second and third level drill downs, and customized trends.
For example:
#stockcode.a100.price
The System Setup program includes a Automatically purge option that lets you automatically purge beats after a certain period of time.
These records are permanently deleted from the database.
From SYSPRO 8 2019 R1 onwards you must explicitly state whether a web view is targeted for SYSPRO or SYSPRO Web UI (Avanti).
Because any pre-existing web view is assumed to be for SYSPRO Web UI (Avanti), if you want existing SYSPRO web views to appear in later versions of SYSPRO, you must rename the .JSON file to include a _SYSPRO extension (e.g. UX_OperatorCode_ProgramLZ_SYSPRO.JSON).
The .JSON file resides in your \Base\Settings folder (or the Role_xxx folder if the user interface is configured by role).
You can also rename the file using the Save as function from within the Visual Designer. You will be prompted to indicate the type of web view you want to save (i.e. Avanti or SYSPRO Client).
-

-
The Name of the new rule.
-

If at Company level, ensure that you enter the relevant company ID at the Company field.
-
Whether the rule should result from an Insert (new record), Update (changed record) or Delete (removed record) in the database.
Alternatively, you can select All to cover all of these transactions.
Tick the Enable checkbox to enable the rule immediately, or save the rule and enable it at a later stage.
Select the Add Rule icon ().
-
-
From the Rule Information pane, expand the Variables section to apply any additional fields or calculations.
-
Select the Add new variable icon ().
-
Indicate the Name of the variable so that it becomes usable later in your rule (e.g. ContactName).
The Name can contain letters, digits, and the underscore character (_) but it can't contain any spaces.
The first character of the Name must be a letter.

This pane provides a visual representation of items that are trending currently, in the form of a bubble chart.
How much a particular item is trending is indicated by the size of the bubble (i.e the bigger the bubble, the more that item is trending).
These bubbles are interactive and allow you to drill down to more detail, which is reflected in the Trending Detail pane.
In addition, the color of the bubble portrays the general sentiment around that item's activity:
-
Green reflects a positive sentiment
-
Grey reflects a neutral sentiment
-
Red reflects a negative sentiment
The darker shades of green or red indicate a more positive or negative sentiment, respectively.
