Hi,

We’re currently evaluating WSO2 as a potential new integration platform. I’d like to know if anybody has experience with WSO2 in relation to IFS; in particular IFS Apps 10. I’m aware of the Boomi/IFS partnership and this is already part of our integrations.

 

Any inputs are appreciated.

 

Best regards,
JK

Hi @jkmy_semco ,

I have done several prototypes with IFS with WSO2. I also made a WSO2 connector for IFS which integrates IFS with WSO2 using IFS Java access provider SDK. It’s published in github and you can find it in https://github.com/knakit/wso2-esb-connector-ifs

This connector consist of 3 operations which covers all DML operations in IFS using standard logic.

  1. Execute SQL statement and retrieve records from IFS
  2. Execute PL/SQL base method for NEW, MODIFY, REMOVE
  3. Execute PL/SQL block and retrieves the values assigned for bind variables

I made some interesting PoC with this connector including a facebook chatbot which can create IFS Service Requests.

 

Below blog post contains how to build a simple REST api for IFS using the WSO2 connector

https://dsj23.me/2019/08/09/build-a-restful-api-for-ifs-with-wso2-and-knak-it-connector/

 

Attached herewith is a presentation I made about this connector, how it works and an example (chat bot), hope you’ll find it interesting.

 

Pls feel free to contact if you have any questions.

 

Cheers!

Hi Damith,

Thank you very much for this insight. It looks very interesting indeed. Did you also work with the REST/OData interface of Apps 10 in conjunction with WSO2? 

 

Best regards,

JK

Hi @jkmy_semco ,

 

Thanks!  I still didn’t get a chance to give a try to connect WSO2 with IFS REST api but it shouldn’t be difficult since WSO2 has default support for address endpoints. If I come with a good example with IFS, I’ll make sure to write about it :sunglasses:
