Hi,
I am looking for any document or link where I can find the information on how to connect C4WS LN web services with Info ION APIs or Data flows.
Anyone can tell or guide in the right direction?
Kind Regards,
Junaid
Hello Junaid
unfortunately CW4S expose webservice to LN API suite which is SOAP based.
ION API connector works with API REST which means in short they use different technology, SOAP/WSDL vs REST/OPENAPI(Swagger)
in order to use that you need a wrapper or you need to create a new suite an duse the policy to convert XML to JSON
both approaches are not standard and are not best practise but can be used in short needed and agreed with the LN team
Hi @giampaolo-spagoni ,
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Do you have any tutorials or documentation available to look into the options mentioned? Especially suite policy to convert XML to JSON.
Review the ION API administration guide, Policies section:
https://docs.infor.com/ionapi/2020-x/en-us/ionapiag/default.html?helpcontent=fuq1507230874536.html
Hello Junadi,
To my understanding the ION API gateway is able to receive a API call REST based from an authorized app - for example Postmand - and translate that request to a SOAP call against the C4WS. This should be possible, although I have not seen it working. Anyone with an example already?
regards Cor
