  4. Click Import.
  5. Clear and then reselect the Text Searchable check box.

ION API metadata re-indexing required

Occasionally, in a new installation, the ION API metadata indexing may fail to run during the installation. This results in an Unexpected metadata error – misconfiguration issue in any operation run through ION APIs.

ION API metadata re-indexing required

To resolve the issue, manually trigger metadata indexing:

  1. Log on to Infor OS.
  2. Navigate to ION API > API Metadata.
  3. Click Refresh metadata.

It is recommended that you execute this procedure for any new installations and upgrades even if the problem is not encountered.

Reconfiguring widgets

If you are upgrading from Infor OS 12.0.19 or an earlier release and are using any Infor Global Human Resources widgets, you must verify the custom parameters. Navigate to User Menu > Admin Settings and open Infor Global Human Resources. On the Custom Parameters tab, verify that the value for the ghrpdlorda variable is set to the correct product line.

Stopping the ION API service before an upgrade

There is an issue that occurs during an upgrade that corrupts the ION API service. To avoid this, the service must be stopped manually before an upgrade. To stop the service:

  1. Open the services application.
  2. Find Infor ION API service in the list.
  3. Stop the service.
