| Integration ToolsLN contains various integration tools. You can use these
tools to integrate your LN environment with other applications or other LN environments. You use the Office integration to integrate LN with MS
Word and MS Excel. You use this module to configure the data synchronization
between MS Exchange and the LN Customer Relation Management applications. You use the Exchange module to import and export data to
and from LN. The Triggering module is a small component in LN that is
used to notify another site or application of an event in LN. The Synchronization Server implements the publishing of event
messages for LN. This is done by creating a synchronization object for a
business object. A synchronization object is the selection of a business
object, extended with selection of components and attributes and (optionally) a
filter. The synchronization object enables the synchronization at runtime for
the selected business object. Business data and methods in LN are grouped
in business objects. A business object, also known as BDE, business data
entity, is capable of publishing events when changes occur to its instances. A
client application can request changes on such a business object to be
published. In this scenario, when an instance of a business object is created
or an existing instance of a business object is changed or deleted, a create,
change or delete event is published. The Synchronization Server enables
publishing of these events from LN. Object Configuration Management You use this module to specify, by object type, if workflow authorization and approval logic
applies to a business object. If an object requires approval, activation, or
validation using ION Workflow, a Workflow Status is displayed in the relevant LN session.
