Infor Application Connector

The Infor Application Connector makes use of inbox/outbox tables in your applications. ION will post messages into your inbox and will pick up messages from your outbox.

This diagram shows an example of two applications exchanging messages using inbox and outbox tables:

To use the Infor Application Connector:

1. Create the inbox/outbox tables. Inbox and outbox tables must be created inside your application. The tables will be accessed by ION through JDBC. SQL scripts are available from ION.
2. Implement the sending and receiving of the BODs. When a BOD must be published, create the BOD XML and determine the correct values for the header fields. Then insert the data into the Outbox tables. When a BOD is received in the Inbox tables, pick up the BOD XML and based on the content insert or update you application data.
