How to connect to Infor LN API(SOAP based) from Mongoose

viacheslav-chukhaldin

Hello everyone! I am sorry, if that question was posted before, but i didn’t found it. 

I developed sessions inside Infor LN before, so right now i am only starting to work with Mongoose, not everything is clear to me.

So, my question is - How i can connect to Infor LN, using SOAP(wsdl fie) based API, from Mongoose forms?

For example, in Factory track i saw that we can retrieve information from LN, and i successfully did it by "Infor Factory Track Extensibility Guide for LN".

I want to create forms and be able to retrieve information from LN tables and sessions. I have saw video about BOD integration, but my company wanted me to call straight Infor LN API calls.

Right now i really do not understand how the system can retrieve information, should i create web service working with LN Api inside Mongoose script? Or there is another way, to use DataLake for example? Is it even possible to work with SOAP inside Mongoose straight forward? 

Thank you for answers! Would appreciate any help and information, where to look, what to learn! Thank you!

You can call LN SOAP API from Mongoose through ION. 

Here is a video walking though ion api in Mongoose. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fb5rWmGeEpk

For LN SOAP APIs you will need to pass in the xml body in the method parameters.

Here's an example of what you'd might need to do in code.
