Integrating external applications

External applications are not integrated as part of the solution deployment. These include other Infor applications, third-party applications, or software that you have developed.

This solution provides options for external applications to access data, update data, and execute logic in applications that are in the solution. Examples of executing logic are changing a status or inserting an order. Additional configuration is required to integrate external applications by using one of these options:

M3 API through ION API
BODs

To extend integration functionality for M3 CE by, for example, adding new BODs or M3 APIs, use the BOD mapping tooling in M3 IEC. To add new or changing existing M3 APIs, use the XtendM3 framework.
