Infor CloudSuite Industrial Integration Guide
Integrate Infor CloudSuite Industrial with enterprise applications through IDO REST APIs, Infor OS/ION APIs, selected event flows, and scheduled synchronization.
Infor CloudSuite Industrial integration options at a glance
Infor CloudSuite Industrial provides REST-based access through IDO APIs, while Infor OS and ION can provide API Gateway access, authentication, routing, document exchange, and selected event-driven flows. OAuth 2.0 is commonly used through Infor OS, although tenant-specific credentials, scopes, roles, and company or site context apply. Legacy SOAP or XML-style services may remain available in some deployments, but REST and ION APIs should generally be evaluated for new work. Batch and asynchronous processing can support larger transfers. Martini can consume these APIs, orchestrate workflows, map JSON or XML payloads, schedule incremental synchronization, expose controlled REST endpoints, and apply retries and duplicate prevention.

Authentication and security considerations
Tenant-specific authentication
Infor OS and ION API access commonly uses OAuth 2.0 with tenant-specific client registration, scopes, roles, and token configuration. Some legacy CloudSuite Industrial endpoints may support Basic Authentication, but that option should be verified before use.
Permissions and context
Authentication does not by itself grant access to Customers, Items, IDOs, business methods, sites, or companies. CloudSuite Industrial permissions, Infor OS roles, API scopes, and environment context must be configured for the required operations.
Martini security
- Store client credentials, API keys, tenant URLs, scopes, site identifiers, and company values in secure environment configuration.
- Use HTTPS and validate certificates for outbound calls.
- Apply least privilege to API clients and restrict access to required IDOs, methods, sites, and companies.
- Do not place credentials in workflow payloads, mappings, or source code.
Operational considerations for Infor CloudSuite Industrial integrations
Pagination and incremental synchronization
Use server-side filters, pagination, modified-date criteria, durable checkpoints, and a small overlap window. Stable identifiers and explicit handling for deleted or deactivated objects help prevent missed or duplicate changes.
ERP business behavior
An IDO collection is not necessarily a simple CRUD resource. Some transactions require business methods, related calls, site context, or status transitions. Validate business-level results instead of relying only on HTTP status codes.
Throttling and retries
Infor OS, the API Gateway, or the CloudSuite Industrial deployment may enforce rate limits. Limit ERP write concurrency, honor retry information when supplied, use exponential backoff, and avoid blindly retrying non-idempotent operations.
Schema and release changes
IDO properties, API paths, permissions, and methods can vary by release and tenant. Maintain versioned mappings, contract tests, environment-specific configuration, and monitoring for missing or unexpected fields.
Testing and data integrity
Test customer, item, order, vendor, purchase-order, site, warehouse, and failure scenarios in a representative environment. Direct database writes should not be assumed for CloudSuite Industrial SaaS because they can bypass ERP business rules.
Why use Martini instead of scripts or point-to-point integrations?
Orchestration beyond a script
Martini coordinates CloudSuite Industrial API calls, external applications, validation, business rules, transformations, and status handling in explicit workflows rather than embedding all logic in one script.
Adaptable integration boundaries
Because CloudSuite Industrial access varies by release, tenant, and deployment model, Martini can work with supported REST, ION, SOAP, webhook-style, and scheduled patterns without requiring a dedicated vendor connector.
Operational reliability
- Use checkpoints, pagination, bounded concurrency, retries, duplicate detection, and error routes for production synchronization.
- Keep credentials and tenant context in secure environment configuration.
- Expose controlled Martini APIs when external systems should not receive direct ERP credentials.
- Reuse mappings, validation, and workflow components as integration requirements evolve.
