Creating an IMS connection point

For now you 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 (IMS via Enterprise Connector).
    1. Specify a name, such as cp_myapp.
    2. Select the location that was created in the prerequisites.
    3. Click the Connection tab and clear Application has IMS End Point.

      This makes the connection point unidirectional. Later you will change this to bidirectional.

    4. Save the IMS connection point.
    5. On the Connection tab, click GENERATE and download the generated credentials.

      Write down the EndpointPath, that makes up the address you must call from your IMS client application.

      This is the address where the Enterprise Connector service exposes the IMS endpoint:

      https://<Enterprise Connector host>:<Host router port>/api/ion/messaging/service
    6. Write down 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.
      For this example, select Sync.SalesOrder.
  3. Save the connection point.
