Connecting to ION
Applications in the cloud or on premises can be connected to ION using the Infor Application Connector.
The application is truly event-driven. BODs (Business Object Documents) are used as the standard interface. Using BODs in combination with the in-box/outbox avoids unwanted dependencies and makes the integration robust. In ION, hardly any configuration is required to connect your application.
On the other hand, the application must be changed or extended to enable the application to publish and receive BODs. Consequently this is less suitable for customer-specific integration of legacy on-premises applications. Alternatives in that case are third-party connectors such as File Connector.
