Event Management

With Event Management you can monitor business events based on pre-defined business conditions and alert users when exceptions take place.

You can monitor these business event types:

  • Individual instances of documents

    For example, a new sales order in the form of a Sync.SalesOrder document

  • Combinations of multiple events

    For example, a sales order and its related shipment

  • Non-occurrence of events

    For example, an invoice has never been sent

Applications that are enabled to work with ION Connect can use the Event Management functionality without any changes in the application. You can enable monitoring on all documents of type Sync that an application publishes.

To configure business conditions, monitors are defined in ION. A monitor contains a monitoring rule, which consists of one or more conditions. After activation, at runtime, a monitor verifies incoming documents against its monitoring rule. If the result of this evaluation is true, a monitor generates an alert. The alert is sent to a distribution list containing users or user groups. The users receive the alert in their personal Infor Ming.le page, the Infor Inbox application or by email. For details about handling alerts by end users, see these guides:
