Creating an IMS connection point

For now, create a unidirectional connection point to enable sending messages from an application to ION.

  1. In ION, select Connect > Connection Points.
  2. Add a connection point of type IMS via ION API.
    1. Specify a name, such as cp_myapp.
    2. Select the location that was created in the prerequisites.
    3. Click the Connection tab.
    4. Clear Application has IMS End Point.

      This makes the connection point unidirectional. You can change it to bidirectional later.

    5. In the ION API Client Id field, specify the client ID of the authorized app that you created in API Gateway.

      Open the authorized app credential file and use the value of the ci property.

    6. Record the logical ID of this connection point.

      The example expects lid://infor.ims.cp_myapp.

    7. Click the Documents tab and add the document types you plan to send.
      Note: 
      • When you duplicate an IMS connection point, documents are copied only if Discovery is disabled.
      • If Discovery is enabled, the Documents tab is empty in the duplicated connection point. You must rediscover or manually add the documents.
      • For guidance on how many documents to include per connection point, see Connection point performance considerations.

      For this example, select Sync.SalesOrder.

    8. Save the connection point.
