| # Integration Tools Infor LN contains various integration tools. You can use these tools to integrate your Infor LN environment with other applications or other Infor LN environments. Office integration You use the Office integration to integrate Infor LN with MS Word and MS Excel. Contacts and calendars You use this module to configure the data synchronization between MS Exchange and the Infor LN Customer Relation Management applications. Exchange You use the Exchange module to import and export data to and from Infor LN. Triggering The Triggering module is a small component in Infor LN that is used to notify another site or application of an event in Infor LN. Synchronization server The Synchronization Server implements the publishing of event messages for Infor LN. This is done by creating a synchronization object for a business object. A synchronization object is the selection of a business object, extended with selection of components and attributes and (optionally) a filter. The synchronization object enables the synchronization at runtime for the selected business object. Event publishing Business data and methods in Infor LN are grouped in business objects. A business object, also known as BDE, business data entity, is capable of publishing events when changes occur to its instances. A client application can request changes on such a business object to be published. In this scenario, when an instance of a business object is created or an existing instance of a business object is changed or deleted, a create, change or delete event is published. The Synchronization Server enables publishing of these events from Infor LN. |
