Preparing processes to launch from Infor M3 Forms

This topic describes how to set up Infor M3 to launch Infor Process Automation processes.

M3 Business Engine always triggers a service. The service can, in turn, launch one or more processes. Criteria, configured in Infor Process Automation, specify the conditions when a service should activate a process. (How to configure criteria for Infor Process Automation is described in another section of this document.

This topic describes how to trigger processes from within an M3 form. There are several ways to do this. You can:

• If you are running Infor Process Automation through the Grid, you will use the Event Hub activity to do this. (More information about the event hub is in another section.) This is the preferred method for triggering if you use the Grid but is available only with the Grid.

• Set up an application message, that is, a message that comes from a particular application, to trigger a process.

  You do this through Application messages (CRS424).

• Create Java calls.

In all cases, movex.properties must be configured.

All procedures are described in the sections that follow.
