Infor ERP SyteLine Software: Framework

Every ERP application has a framework, but the term has a wide range of meaning. For this reason, and because the framework provides major areas of functionality in the Infor ERP SyteLine software application, a brief explanation is in order.

The central defining goal of the framework is to minimize the amount of coding required (both by Infor developers and by partners and customizers) in order to maximize:

customizations that require no or minimal coding and are automatically upgradeable
rapid development
insulation from underlying technology changes among various software systems

Code is still required of course; therefore, another key goal of the framework is to use standard Microsoft technologies and tools to write the code. The Infor ERP SyteLine framework accomplishes these goals by defining metadata for the user interface (forms) and the mid-tier business objects (IDOs, or intelligent data objects). The forms and IDO definitions are stored in a database. Since metadata cannot be directly executed (it isn't code), the Infor ERP SyteLine framework is the runtime environment for both the forms and for the IDOs. The forms are executed by the WinStudio client engine, and the IDOs are executed by the IDORuntime. This also means that the Infor ERP SyteLine framework must provide design tools for the development and customization of the metadata. Infor's advanced technology enables radical changes that all upgrade as metadata.

One additional goal of the Infor ERP SyteLine framework is driven by its core goal of metadata-driven development: the framework must provide core functions to the application so that application developers and customizers don't need to write code to ensure they are properly implemented. For example the Infor ERP SyteLine framework provides the implementation for notes, user-defined fields, replication, security, licensing, Web service, and XML interfaces, customization, translation, background task execution, and reporting interfaces.

Infor ERP SyteLine: Event System

The Application Event System is a powerful and flexible set of tools designed to help extend and customize how the system works. You can use these tools to define and monitor events across the system.

Events are uniquely named incidents that can be triggered during the use of an application. Events can have multiple triggers and can be generated by user actions, conditions in a database, other events, or other situations.

Event handlers consist of data that specifies:

the event to which it is to respond.
any conditions or attributes that influence why and when the handler executes.
one or more event actions to take place during the handler's execution.

Each event can have multiple handlers, but each handler can be associated with only one event. Each event handler consists of one or more event actions.

Event Actions consist of data that specifies the individual tasks or bits of work that are performed by the event handler. Each event handler can have multiple actions.
