How to call INFOR Node.js Local Server

Legacy Contributor

Hi,

I have a question: we are starting to project a Widget that needs a Node.js Server.

Our question is: is it possible to make any calls to Node.js Installed in XiPlatform?

We are actually developing on Infor XI 10.6 (Local Installation)

Hello Xtreme Community,

Sorry for bothering again with this question.

I think the Node.js server is close and dedicated for Infor XI.

I just wanna know:

- is there any possibility in future to open Node.js for 3rd party modules?

Thank you for the attention

Hi,

If this is a widget for Homepages it's clearly stated that third party components are not allowed to be added. The reason is simple. Third party libraries might affect other widgets and it leads to more memory consumption. You are only allowed to use what is delivered with the framework.

It's not allowed to call Node.js installed in XiPlatform and I'm not even sure what this question is all about.

For Ming.le Homepages you can run the development container to develop widgets locally. It comes bundled with a node server and a proxy used for development only. This development contain should have all you need to develop widgets for Homepages and you'll find the documentation in the Developers Guide (github.com/.../DevelopersGuide.pdf)

But Homepages does not have a Node.js server on the Infor XI installation. ION API However uses Node.js.

I know this is a really late reply but hopefully it might be helpful for someone.
