Using the Data Lake IDO Wizard

Use the Data Lake IDO Wizard form to import objects from the Infor Data Lake.

Note: Before you can use this wizard, you must first verify that these settings have been made:
  • The ION API Server must be set to 0 (zero, the default).
  • Verify that the Data Lake IDO Wizard form has been designated as a Runtime Builder form.
  • You are authorized to use Runtime Builder forms.

  1. If you do not already have an IDO project with which to associate the IDO you are creating, use the IDO Projects form to create one.
  2. Open the Data Lake IDO Wizard form.
  3. From the Data Lake Object drop-down list, select the API object you want to use.
  4. Optionally, to view the properties associated with the selected object, click Object Properties.
    When finished viewing the properties, click Return.
  5. Click Next.
  6. On the next page of the wizard, supply these values:
    IDO Name
    Provide the name to be assigned to the new IDO.
    Caption
    Provide the text to be used and displayed as the IDO caption.
    Project Name
    From the drop-down list, select the IDO project to be associated with the new IDO.
  7. Click Finish.
    If successful, the system displays a message to let you know that the IDO was generated successfully.
  8. (Optional, but recommended) Use the IDOs form and related IDO forms to verify that the IDO exists and has the correct properties and methods.
The IDO can now be used much like any other IDO collection in your application.
Caution: 
When using this IDO collection in a form, you must use the GetDatalakeData custom load method with it. Otherwise, your application cannot find the requested information.

To do this, in Design Mode or the Web Designer, select the Collections property sheet, and then select GetDatalakeData as the Custom Load Method attribute value.
