Connections

Connections enable you to connect your IRC application to an ERP application to extract data from the ERP system. The type of connection you use depends on the method of data extraction. Briefly, the connection types are:

  • Online connection: To extract data directly from an ERP system.
  • Offline or imported connection:
    • Extract data remotely using the Portable Data Extractor.
    • Perform a script-based or codeless extraction.
    • Map data extracted through the Portable Data Extractor to an existing online or offline connection.

The Connections page provides an overview of the existing connections in your system and displays the details such as the server name, connection description, and the number of Insights using a specific connection. Secured connections are indicated by the Secured icon and unsecured connections display the Not Secured icon.

The Server column of an Infor connection displays the ERP system for which the connection is created and is specified in the Application Code field while creating the connection.
