Configuration Files tab

On the Configuration Files tab you can find these sections:

  • Certificate Store

    ION CE or an Enterprise Connector can contact secured (https) external URLs. An external URL can be contacted, for example, in these ways:

    • From an Enterprise Connector IMS connection point
    • From an Infor Cloud sFTP connection point
    • From a Hybrid API Gateway service call

    If a secured external URL is contacted, then ION CE or the Enterprise Connector verifies whether the certificate is trusted by ION CE.

    If the certificate is already trusted by a CA, such as Verisign, then ION CE allows access to the URL. If the certificate is self-signed or is not trusted, then connectivity fails. To verify this, click Test in a connection point model.

    To check the authenticity of the certificate, you can choose to trust the certificate. Then you can download the certificate of the server you are calling.

    Note that the only SSL server certificates which are supported by ION are X.509.v3 certificates.

    After you downloaded the certificate, inspect it. If you are satisfied with the authenticity of the certificate, then you can import it into ION CE's trust store:

    1. Click Import Certificate.
    2. A window is displayed. Browse to the location of your certificate and select it.
    3. Click Open.

    The certificate is now imported into ION CE and you can continue working with the external URL

    Download Scripts to create I/O box

    To connect to ION using the Infor Enterprise Connector Application connection point, create in-box and outbox tables in your database. To download the scripts to generate the I/O box:

    1. Click Download Scripts to create I/O box.
    2. Download the zip file to a folder of your choice.
    3. Extract the zip file to a folder of your choice.

    This zip file contains two folders: 1.0 and 3.0.

    The 1.0 folder contains the scripts to create a base I/O box for the standard database vendors that ION is tested with. This includes: MS SQL server, Oracle, DB2, DB2400, and MySQL.

    The 3.0 folder contains the scripts required to prepare your I/O box to support multiple logical IDs sharing the same I/O box. The v3.0 scripts must be run on top of a v1.0 I/O box.

    For Unicode-compatible BOD header fields, you can use the scripts available in the Unicode folder. We recommend that you use Unicode.

    IMS API Documentation

    You can build your own IMS integration with ION. You can use the Infor Enterprise Connector, Infor Application Connection Point (IMS) or IMS throughAPI Gateway connection point. In all cases you require the API documentation for the IMS interface that you must implement at your application side. Click Download IMS API Documentation to download this swagger based documentation.
