We are trying to call a 3rd party API registered in ION API in an Xtend M3 API and then use the Xten

Question

When we call the same Xtend M3 API in MEC Map, API is responding with an error 'Unauthorized':

However, if we hard-code Authorization information in Xtend code, then we could call it from MEC as well. But, obviously, we can't hard-code OAuth token in Xtend code, as it changes every 2 hours.

Hi! 
I have a similiar problem, but the ION API is called from within XtendM3 and not MEC.

The XtendM3 API is called from CMS041, so the triggering user is "MOVEX".

What is the reason for this?

Legacy Contributor · Answer

There is a limitation in XtenM3.

It is not possible to call a Transaction Extension, that is inherently calling an ION API, from a MEC Context.

Yes this is. If we are able to resolve this, then no need to send BOD to ION to call APIs. We can call APIs from directly from MEC an can do much more complex handling.
