Configuring an ION channel and receiver
ION Connect is a messaging hub provided by Infor. The channel/receiver is for receiving messages, called Business Object Documents (BODs) from ION Connect. Each BOD received from ION Connect can be assigned to a receiver. Those receivers are assigned to a channel. Each channel is assigned to one connection point in the ION Connect server. This topic describes how to configure the channel and receivers.
Many Infor Lawson customers who process ION BODs do so through pre-configured channel / receivers that are delivered as scripts through an application. The instructions in this section are intended for customers who are setting up their own channel / receivers or who want additional information about the options that were pre-configured for their systems.
With some releases of Infor Process Automation, it is possible to receive BODs in a batch of two or more BODs. This is a way for ION to receive large data sets.
The configuration instructions in this section include information on setting up for batch BODs. Additional information about how batch BODs are processed are in another section.
