Monday TECH Day sessions.  During the registration process, if you choose to attend on Monday, you’ll be given options for morning and afternoon sessions as listed below.  Seating for our Monday sessions is limited, so we suggest early enrollment.

Monday Morning Sessions:

• Extending & customizing your ERP via Enterprise Integrator  (Morning Session, please also select the afternoon session below) -  Presented by Nora Holland.

  • This is the first half of our 5-hour hands-on training session targeting those somewhat new to Enterprise Integrator (EI) who would like to go beyond tailoring the User Interface (i.e. screen layouts) and understand the technical capabilities of EI and how to use it to augment and customize your Infor ERP installation to your organizational needs. This workshop is targeted to the technical oriented who want to explore the application extension capabilities of the EI framework by extending the UI over your user-owned database and/or programs to augment the XA user experience.  We will work through exercises on logical attributes, code files, action buttons, edits and audits, field level security, discrete domains, relationships, transactions, host processes and publish and subscribe for both Infor and user-owned objects.  IDF in XA will be used for class demonstrations and documentation but those using IDF in another ERP may attend and follow along as well since each student will connect to their own system and business environment to perform the class exercises.  This allows students to use their own objects, tables and source files where they are most comfortable and for easy reference post-workshop!

• Intro to the Infor Development Framework (IDF),  NetLink for Beginners - Presented by Phil Joseph
  •  Are you clueless how to make Net-Link do what everyone says it can do -- customize this and personalize that? You can take a 20-hour instructor led course with hands-on workshops from Infor U. Too much? Then how about the first 3 hours of it? You will learn a lot and get a taste of what the whole course is about.
• Infor OS – A box of Legos.  Part 1 -  Presented by Jessica Melger, Infor
  • Many Infor customers are embracing the Infor OS technology,  but not sure where to start,  or what’s all included.  Our Infor OS session is designed to be an in-depth introduction to the core elements of the Infor OS Suite.  Our morning session will start with a core introduction to the Infor OS Suite, then move on to ION,  Workflow and Infor Document Management (IDM)

• Db2 for IBM i SQL – Scripts, Services and Performance (Session 1,  this same session will also be provided in the afternoon).
