Creating custom metadata

The Data Catalog component is a utility component used by ION.

This section explains the Data Catalog contents and how you can add metadata for your own objects or for extensions on standard application objects.

The Data Catalog contains metadata on objects that are sent through the ION Service. During the installation of ION, the Data Catalog is filled with the latest version of the Infor metadata.

If you only use standard objects from Infor, you do not have to modify the Data Catalog contents. You can use custom application objects in ION Connect, in a monitor, or in a workflow activation policy. Add the metadata for those custom application objects to the Data Catalog.

The functionality to add custom metadata in the Data Catalog is intended only for customer-specific metadata. Infor metadata should not be included as custom metadata.
