INTRODUCTION
Infor describes ION as “a technology which builds on a flexible and powerful integration framework to create an end-to-end solution for improving your entire business process”. Other descriptions include “ION is a lightweight middleware layer built into the software that helps to ease any integration challenges customers would otherwise face”.
Here is a high level summary of the ION platform along with a feel for how it could be implemented alongside other Infor and non-Infor solutions to deliver benefits in terms of improved integration and streamlined processes.
Infor ION Suite
To summarise, the Infor ION platform comprises a number of distinct components, which can be deployed as part of an ION implementation. Not all components need to be implemented at the same time. The table below gives a brief explanation of each.
On reviewing the functionality available within ION it is very likely that some of the software applications currently in use across your organisation already possess some/all elements of this functionality.
For example, existing software applications may already have built in workflow/authorisation, exception alerting and notification capabilities. Interface capabilities may already exist between legacy expense management and finance systems.
INFOR ION Adapter template
Pre-Requisite:-
1. Create Integration.
2. Create Adapter.
Step 1 : #
We have to create the following data for inbound processing:
- Create Metadata for message type -> Create I structure Repository in it -> Create appropriate message type.
- The next step is to create Integration.
- Then Create an Inbound Interface where we have to select your Metadata, Repository, and message type. Then Select your adapter.
NOTE
a. Here, the “InforION Service” name can be anything. But Node Request, URL, PATH Parameter, QUERY Parameter, Header, Body should be exactly like these.
b. Here we use basically two types of file JSON and XML for sending the data.
Test Case 1: Basic Authentication
Integration Name: infor_skyvva
Outbound Interface: infor_ob_1
Step 2 : #
Click on open mapping
We need to drag fields from Source and drop it to Target and save it.
Request
response
Click on open mapping
We need to drag fields from Source and drop it to Target and save it.
Step 3 : #
Create the adapter
Step 4 :- #
Check on message monitoring.
SUMMARY #
In this chapter we have learnt how to to inbound and outbound processing using infor ion adapter.
