Hi fellow Hackathon participants! I'm Abi. I'm a developer at McNaughton-McKay. We've been an Infor customer for years. I honestly have no ideas for any particular project (although, I'm sure something will come to me).
In my day-to-day job, I develop extensions. So my strongest skills are in Javascript. I also personally work with Python for personal projects. I'm a full stack developer trained in React and Angular for front end development. I have experience in database design and development. I've also worked rather extensively in UiPath which is very similar to Infor's RPA.
If you're looking for a team member who is committed and driven to learn new technology as needed, drop me a message.7 -
Hi Abi, you talk about JavaScript and that makes me think about extensions to Birst's front end. I have been a Birst developer for a year now, I have done quite a bit of work on Inventory from both LN and SAP. I know Birst may be extended by JavaScript, although I didn't investigate further. I don't have a specific idea, but would be interested in investigating what can be done.
By the way, my company is an Infor customer since a couple of years. I'm located in Italy. And I notice now that my name is not shown on this post - it's Enrico.

Hi all. I manage a DevOps team for a major mortgage company and have years of DevOps experience both on-prem and in public cloud. I'm very much still a hands-on manager and have experience with digital delivery of applications and infrastructure using CICD pipelines. While I don't have experience with Infor, I'm sure I can benefit any team I'm on that is focused on digital delivery. I'm looking to gain experience with Infor itself and automating process.

Hello Abi! Nice to see you on here! :)

Hello everyone! I am an Infor Alliance Partner with advanced skills in anything related to Infor OS (ION, API Gateway, RPA, IDM, etc). We mainly work with CSD, but am looking to branch out into other ERP's as well. I signed up as an individual, but have a whole team of developers behind me to help. I would more than happy to join someone's group, should they want me.

Hey Enrico! We don't use Birst, but I know it's pretty popular and I'd love to learn more via extension writing, either here in the hackathon or one on one if anything comes up on your end that could benefit from an extension.

Hi everyone, I am Ovidiu and since a couple of years I am developing (mainly, but not only) interfaces between LN and 3rd party systems using Infor ION Desk , ION API, IDM, etc. I am also experienced in writing extensions for LN. I have deep knowledge also in other areas, like SQL, C#. Depending on the complexity of the requirements we need to use sometime PL SQL or C# to cover very specific aspects.
I do not have for now any specific idea of what we could implement as a general solution that could apply to more Infor customers.
Looking forward to be part of a team working on some cool ideas!

Hi everyone, I am a Design Engineer turn ERP Business Analyst. I have intermediate or better skills with a variety of programs: MATLAB, VBA, VB, SQL. My experience with Infor products is predominantly with Syteline as a Site Developer. I am slightly more interested in the API but am also just looking to broaden my understanding of the OS, so I am open to any project ideas or groups.

Hi everyone,
My name is Joy, and I'm an Infor OS Analyst. I've been working with Infor Solutions for 7 years and have a strong understanding of the platform's capabilities.
I'm currently interested in exploring the potential of RPA (Robotic Process Automation) to streamline our processes. My project idea is to implement an RPA solution to automate the backup process of our production environment on a bi-weekly basis.
I'm looking for team members who have experience with RPA tools, cloud platforms, and data management. If you're interested in joining this project, please reach out to me directly.
Let's work together to improve our efficiency and reliability!"

Hi Abi,
I have no idea whether this may be done: you know that on Excel there is a functionality to double click a column separator and get an automatic resizing of the column on its left. This is not available on Birst Visualizer and may save quite a bit of time both when preparing a report and when using it. It's a simple thing, but may be complex to do, if even possible. It'd be maybe a starting point to investigate what may be done by JavaScript upon Birst. Any thought from your side?

Interesting. I'm going to dig into one of our gridded screens in WebUi and see if I can create an extension there that would replicate that. @Brandon Watson do you or your team have experience creating extensions to Birst? Would it be similar to WebUi extensions?

Hi Brandon,
couple of things related to passing data through ION/API:
- Doing a Live Connection from Birst to LN. Birst is capable of Live Connections to external databases, but this functionality has not been exploited by Infor in the LN CloudSuite: in the LN Analytics, only non-realtime loads exist, and the DataLake connectors (the Birst ones, I mean) are not designed for Live Connect, to my understanding. It may be interesting to try: Birst may use REST APIs, or JDBC drivers; the latter requires an Agent to run on some server, which is intended for on-premise connection. So my idea is to try either to get to DataLake (or even to LN itself!) by REST API or by JDBC driver.
- We (in my company) are about to start a project of integrating a third-party Supplier Portal with LN. I have no idea on the best way to do this. The program is in Cloud. Again, REST I guess, from DataLake (or LN?) and to ION.
I would love to learn how to test APIs via Postman, which I know exists but honestly I have no idea of where to put my hands…

@AbiFranklin @Brandon Watson I was looking on the MarketPlace for docs on Birst JavaScript (I have seen something somewhere in the past) and found this, which looks interesting:

While I haven't had direct experience working with INFOR specifically, I've been following their innovative solutions and contributions to the industry with great interest. Their commitment to providing comprehensive ERP and supply chain management solutions aligns well with my passion for leveraging technology to drive efficiency and streamline business processes

Sorry, crazy week. Looking over this this afternoon and will get back with you.
JoyBhosale: I'm also interested in your project. I've worked with the RPA platform UiPath, which is fairly similar to Infor's RPA.

All: When Brandon says he (and his team) has/have "advanced skills" that is an under-statement!

Hey all! Over the past 5 years, I've been a user and administrator of an Infor CSD (Hybrid at the moment) system. In that time I've worked on some CSD (WebUI) extensions; worked with developers to integrate their e-commerce solution via ION / Infor Distribution SX.e API and have made various connections to satisfy business requirements. I am not a developer, and do not have a specific project in mind but am eager to learn and use this experience for growth. I will be able to devote some quality time to a project and am eager to help.
