Application documents

In the Documents tab of an application connection point, select the documents that can be sent or received by the application. The selected documents must match the actual capabilities of the application. Some application connection points only support documents to be Sent from Application or Documents to Write.

To add a document type, click Add. A list of documents that are based on available verb.noun combinations is displayed. You can filter the list of documents by specifying a text in the Filter field. Alternatively, use the switch buttons to show the Infor standard documents or custom documents.

In the Documents tab you cannot select the Acknowledge and Show response verbs. The verbs are not visible in this tab but are automatically supported if a relevant request document is selected in the other direction.

For example, when Process.SalesOrder is selected as Send from Application, the Acknowledge.SalesOrder is automatically considered as supported in Receive in Application. The data flow with this connection point can consume Acknowledge.SalesOrder.

Note: For a unidirectional IMS connection point, "Application has IMS End Point" is disabled), you can configure the Acknowledge and Process response BOD types.

To remove a document or verb, select the item and click Remove. When removing a document or verb that is used in a data flow, an error is reported in the data flow notifications.

Some application connection points can discover the documents automatically. Click Refresh to start the auto discovery. During the discovery, if the application exposes documents not known to the ION registry, these documents are ignored. A warning, that shows which documents are ignored, is displayed.

Note: When the application provides the discovery method, then deleting or adding documents is not required. It can be used as a modeling workaround if the discovery is temporarily not working, for example due to a connection problem. If the problem is resolved, then the discovery can be used to synchronize the status in ION Desk with the application. When the discovery is successful, manual configurations that do not match the application are replaced.
