Hello,
We are working with Infor M3 on-premise and exploring how to trigger an ION Workflow based on events configured in CMS047 (Event-Based Alerts).
In CMS047, when activating BOD with message type “Workflow”, it suggests that M3 can trigger workflows directly.
However, the behavior in an on-premise setup is unclear.
My questions:
- Does CMS047 (BOD type = Workflow) directly trigger an ION Workflow in on-premise?
Or is this only functional in Infor Cloud environments? - M3 → BOD → MEC → ION → WorkflowIs there any supported way to bypass MEC?
- What is the recommended architecture today for event-driven workflows from M3 on-prem?
- Keep MEC in the loop?
- Use ION Messaging Service directly?
- Use APIs instead of BOD?
Objective:
Trigger a workflow when a business event occurs (e.g., field change in a table), with a clean and maintainable architecture.
Additional context:
- M3: On-premise (not CloudSuite)
- ION: Available
- Looking to avoid unnecessary legacy components if possible
