Establishing an M3 data source

M3 data sources are established and configured in the same way as for other types of data sources.

M3 data sources are listed under the M3 heading on the Data Sources tab of Infor e-Commerce Development Studio.

To establish the connection information for an M3 data source

  1. If no M3 data source exist, add an M3 data source first. See Adding a data source.
  2. Right-click on the M3 data source and select Connections.
  3. Type the following:
    host

    The name of the server at which the API is available.

    user

    The user name for an account with permission to access the M3 API.

    password

    The password of the above-specified user.

    schema
    type
  4. Click OK.

The data source contains the name of the file that implements the M3 Connector. This must match the name of the implementation file embedded in the IAI — the name in the actual installation.

If necessary, you can use a text editor to open the M3 data source file M3.dsc (usually in ...<working folder>\datasources\) and change the archive (name) property to movexjca-X.X.X.rar.

You must close the Infor e-Commerce Development Studio while you edit this file.
