COBOL to NextGen Payroll Switch

The system’s initialization parameter file (ADV30Params.ini) includes the COBOL to NextGen Payroll switch parameter (UseHrmRestServices).

  • UseHrmRestServices - When this parameter is set to False (this is the default value), advantage HRM interacts with COBOL to run the processes. When this parameter is set to True, advantage HRM interacts with NextGen Payroll to run the processes.

  • HrmRestServiceURL - When UseHrmRestServices is set to False, this parameter is not used. When UseHrmRestServices is set to True, a valid connection URL needs to be updated in order for HRM to connect to NextGen Payroll based execution through REST calls.

HrmRestServiceURL= http://<ipaddress/hostname>:<port>/<HRMRestServices-deployed-war-uri>

COBOL to Next Generation Payroll Switch - diagram showing turned on and turned off. When COBOL to NextGen Payroll switch is turned ON in the ADV30Params.ini with UseHrmRestServices (On), HRM has Jobs and Online that flow to AdvA4Service Handler, which sits on top of COBOL. HRM flows to NextGen Payroll. NextGen Payroll also flows to HRM Database and HRM Database also flows to HRM. When COBOL to NextGen Payroll switch is turned OFF in the ADV30Params.ini with UseHrmRestServices (Off), HRM has Jobs that flow to AMSA2 Function Handler and then to COBOL. It also has Online that flows directly to COBOL. HRM does not interact with NextGen Payroll but it does interact with the HRM Database
