Updates for Application Integrations

This topic lists and describes changes to the Mongoose framework that affect specific applications built on Mongoose.

ION API able to invoke Mongoose REST service

We modified the Mongoose REST service to make it an acceptable recipient of ION API calls. Previously, client programs calling the Mongoose REST APIs had to supply Mongoose login credentials. This change enables Mongoose to use one of the approved authentication mechanisms for the ION API, which in turn makes Mongoose-based applications more available to other ION-enabled applications.

Swagger-compliant documentation implemented

We implemented Swagger-compliant documentation for the Mongoose REST API calls, so that the Mongoose REST API is more self-documenting from environments like the ION API. At the same time, we improved the documentation of Mongoose RESTful APIs.

New stored procedure to handle core-related SQL modules of IncDateSp

We revised an application-specific version of a stored procedure called IncDateSp and added it to core Mongoose. Our version of the stored procedure disregards the EventHandlerState.RetestAtDate and EventTrigger_mst.RetestAtDate columns. At the same time, it maintains the basic process in the core and uses various callouts to other, application-specific, stored procedures to perform specified operations.

Application locale and language settings when running in Ming.le

Mongoose-based applications running in Ming.le can now appear to override the locale and language settings of the user's browser with values specified by the Ming.le environment. These values are specified as URL parameters.

See Creating URLs to access the web clients.

Context messages sent automatically in Ming.le

We created two new process default to facilitate Mongoose's ability to respond in context to messages received from Ming.le when a form becomes active:

  • Send Context Message on Form Focus – Enables the automatic sending of context messages
  • Optional Context Message Form Prefix – Sets a form prefix to make the Ming.le form ID unique across the application.

Support for sessions in Infor Ming.le

For this release, Mongoose can detect sessions from the same web browser instance using the same user credentials, and create a single Mongoose session to service requests for an arbitrary number of iFrames. System administrators must specify the correct URL for the right access point.

Configuration name is shown in Ming.le

When Show configuration name on caption is enabled, the user name and configuration name is shown on the right top corner of the menu bar in Ming.le..
