How is the database connection set for Inter-site PO/CO between different IFS databases?

Question

Hi everyone,I have a question regarding multi-site planning between sites belonging to different IFS databases.The IFS documentation states that Distribution Orders cannot be used to move parts directly between different databases. However, it also mentions that Inter-site Purchase Orders and Inter-site Customer Orders can be used between different databases, with Message Handling configured to send the inter-site PO to the supply site.My question is specifically about the technical connectivity between the two IFS databases.For example:Database A → Company A → Site A (Demand Site)	Database B → Company B → Site B (Supply Site)If an Inter-site PO is created in Database A and needs to create the corresponding Inter-site CO in Database B:How is the connection between Database A and Database B established in IFS Cloud?

​@Yathartha Karunananda6-7 years ago I worked for a customer using IFS 7.5 and IFS 8. There was a DB link created in the oracle DB so that the databases could communicate to one another.Once the DB link is done, you need to also configure it in Installation site:
