Connecting to ION

The preferred approach to connect to ION is using the Infor Application Connector.

The application will be truly event-driven. BODs are used as the standard interface. Using BODs in combination with the inbox/outbox avoids unwanted dependencies and makes the integration robust. In ION, hardly any configuration is required to connect your application.

On the other hand, you must change or extend the application to enable the application to publish and receive BODs. Consequently this is less suitable for customer-specific integration of legacy applications.

Alternatives in that case are third-party connectors such as Database Connector, Web Service Connector, or Message Queue (JMS) Connector.
