How do I use Infor provisioned IONAPI if response content is not xml or json

Hi,

Trying to create a workflow by calling an ION API provided by Infor specifically IONConnectManagement.

The problem is ION API node in ION workflow won't give me options for octet-stream response type.

"octet-stream" is just a string.
You will however need to convert it back to whatever format the encoded string is coming from to be able to View it (i.e. jpg, bmp etc).

Hi,

There is a limitation to use Octet-stream in a Workflow even though it is available in the ION API. You have to use a Document Flow and start a workflow from a Document Flow if that suffices your use case.

If you convert this octet-stream as a string you will end up with the Bad output. It has to be sent as a binary if you are encoding/decoding and it has to be in octet-stream only.

Current Limitations in a Workflow:

Unable to provide an Octet Stream within ION API even through it is available.
Unable to use a ION scripting whose input is Binary.

We did have a similar issue recently and ended up on a workaround like I mentioned above.

Hi Raghu,

What node will you use in document flow to call this API that has octet stream I tried the Stream node but it seems like this is something that's not coming from API. API Connector doesn't have any option to specify the body as well.
