Integration Development¶
IFS Cloud’s extensive integration support includes everything from packaged integration services to other IFS Products such as IFS Planning and Scheduling Optimization (PSO) to connectors for third-party products.
IFS Cloud also exposes data with the restful API that can be used for integrations. Data structures can easily be created using structures in projections, which will generate code that can be exposed with functions and actions, for example:
structure Expose using MyEntity {
nestedwithcrud = ReadAndWrapWithJson, ReadAndWrapWithXml, Create;
}
There is also possibilities to use IFS/Connect. IFS/Connect is IFS’ own lightweight integration broker, designed for XML and web services. It provides additional integration value, such as the development of its own transport connectors and the development of transformers.
You can also use a projection structure within an entity or utility to get datastructures to send via IFS/Connect, for example:
structure Expose using MyEntity { nestedwithcrud = ReadAndWrapWithJson, ReadAndWrapWithXml, Create; implementation = "Utility"; }
