Overview

This sections describes how the IFS lifecycle experience build place can be used when developing and unit testing an integration developed by a customer solution developer

Rest API based development

Rest API based integrations is the recommended integration development option in IFS Cloud. No additional steps are required to develop and test a Rest API based integration. Please follow the steps mentioned here for detailed steps to follow.

IFS Connect Development and PLSQL AP Development

IFS Connect and PQLSQL Access provider based development can be done using developer studio and deployed through Developers. The routing rules and addresses for the outbound flow can be configured using IFS Cloud Web. The Configuration done can be either imported to customer use place through deliveries or through manual configuration after the code changes are deployed through a delivery.

Testing File and Mail based flows

File based integrations such as File Connectors, FTP/S Connectors and SFTP Connectors, as well as Mail based integrations may not be able to fully test in build place environments. But there are some workarounds available to test the message contents of file and mail based integrations in build place environments as below. Use place environments must be used to perform full end to end test of file and mail based integrations.

File Sending

Files in JSON and XML format can be tested using HTTP and REST senders.

Files in the text format can be tested using Developer Studio.

Mail Sending

The information sent to the mail sender can be verified by checking the Application Message through IFS Solution Manager. The application message will contain the message body as well as any attachments included in the email.

File Reading - Files in JSON, XML and Text format can be tested using IFS SOAP Gateway.
