Connections

Connections enable you to connect the IRC application to the Infor so that data can be extracted from the Infor. The type of connection you use depends on the method of data extraction.

After installing and activating an Insight, you must create a connection from the IRC application to the Infor in order to schedule an extraction through this connection.

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

To create a new connection, on the IRC User Interface, click Settings > Connections. The Connections page is displayed.

Creating an online connection. This type of connection is used to extract data directly from the Infor.

  • All extracted data for that connection.
  • The extraction information and the violations for the connection.
  • The mapping between connections and rule books.
  • All extraction schedules for that connection.
