Interfacing M3 with Infor e-Commerce Development Studio web applications

Usually, you will be using Infor e-Commerce Development Studio to customize and deploy an Infor e-Business Suite application, such as Infor e-Commerce . Each of these products is prepared to be interfaced with M3 BE through the built-in features of Infor e-Commerce Development Studio, customized code within the applications themselves and a collection of external tools. The final solution typically implements a combination of real-time access to M3 BE (for advanced price calculations and time-sensitive data, such as order submission) and data replication between M3 BE and the online application database (typically via the XML Gateway).

This chapter explains how to work with the Infor e-Commerce Development Studio controls relevant to the M3 BE interface and with the M3 connector stages included with Infor e-Commerce Development Studio. For complete details about how to implement the interface and use the other external tools supplied with your application, please see the Infor e-Commerce Connector’s Guide included with your e-Business Suite application.
