Verbs supported by various connectors

A summary is provided of verbs supported by each connector. Note these special scenarios:

  • ION does not enforce the applications to follow the verb patterns. The verbs and verb patterns are controlled by the application. For example, ION does not enforce an application that receives a 'Process' message to send an 'Acknowledge' in return. A successful integration relies on an agreement between the involved applications with regard to the verbs and patterns used. This must be within the structure and functionality provided by ION.
  • Confirm is a verb which all connectors support to inform errors to ION. Confirm Verb is used together with a system noun called 'BOD' to send a message called 'Confirm.BOD'. All Confirm BODs are received by ION and managed in ION Desk.

    You can also configure a message listener to receive Confirm BODs.

    See Error Messages.

  • The verbs Acknowledge and Show are not available for selection in the documents tab of the Application Connection points. You can use the explicit routing to directly send messages with the Acknowledge or Show verb to an application if they support it. See "JDBC Connectivity" and "Message Headers" in Infor ION Technical Reference Guide (U9829US).
  • In addition to sending and receiving, DB and web service connectors act as an intermediate step to enrich or modify data. For such patterns only Sync verb is supported.
  • Database connector supports a special pattern of receiving a Process BOD and returning an Acknowledge BOD.

You can use the verbs listed in an integration if the verbs are implemented by the publishing and consuming applications. The table shows the verbs supported by ION for each connector technology. Note that not all nouns support all verbs for a connection point.
