How to push data (detected status change + some relevant info) out to an API webhook for a 3rd party

Hello!

I'm new to Infor, but I've administered other ERPs/ERP ecosystems before. Infor has a robust and wide field of options to do things, which is leading me to my current dilemma.

Company has an internally developed app that is currently pulling data directly out of CSI via API. I want to set up an interaction that, when an event occurs (a status field on an object is updated), CSI pushes that data out (the record #, the new status, and some other info all from the core record) and then calls an API webhook endpoint for that internally developed app.

How do I properly go about doing this? My current plan (not finalized in the least) is CSI Event Handler (detects change) ⇒ Generates BOD (need to make a new BOD template entirely from scratch) ⇒ ION Monitor??? Can I use the Monitor in a workflow? How do I call out to the webhook from here?

I'm going to be doing a lot of reading up on the developer portal, but suggestions from people who eatsleepbreathe this stuff would be DEEPLY appreciated. I just need to do a few easy things for myself until I have the hang of them, and then I can get more complicated. This is one of the easiest examples I can think of, and luckily I do need to actually do it for business purposes as well.

Thank you for your time :)!

Hello,

I think It will be easier if its CSI10 datalake in replication categories as it will produce a json and will also capture all table level changes (even updated by SP level).

In mingle you can then create a dataflow to watch these files and then transmit it via connection points depending on what you need (ftp or api etc)

Hi Kaz - that's good to know that that's an option!

We only replicate to our datalake once per day, in the evening. I would want to be passing this data as soon as it happens to the other service, rather than once a day at night.

But, the JSON point is a good point, I forgot to specify that I would 110% prefer that this data comes out of CSI or ION as JSON data.

Would doing datalake even if it's only once per day still be your preference?

Hi Emma,

Yes, For me its easier than bods. You mean you set the replicate in CSI10 every night?

In CSI10 you can set the replication to be immediate and In seconds you can intercept the json files in mingle by your own custom dataflow before it even reach the datake.

Custom Dataflow

CSI10 (replicate immediate) → Mingle dataflow (read json here and send to ftp or api)

Erp to datalake Dataflow

CSI10 (replicate immediate) → Mingle dataflow → datalake

For me, I prefer to get the data soon as possible.

Regards,

Kaz
