Infor XA / Infor ION Data Integration Developer

We are seeking a hands-on data integration developer to build, configure, test, and support integrations between Infor XA / MAPICS and internal or external systems using Infor ION, ION Desk / ION Connect, ION API Gateway / IMS, Enterprise Connector, and XA IDF System-Link. The role is focused on BOD/XML message integration, API-based integration, transformation logic, error handling, monitoring, and production troubleshooting—not general application development.

Research strongly supports making Infor XA + Infor ION the core requirement: XA/ION postings call out MAPICS/XA, Enterprise Connector or IMS setup, REST integration, IBM i / AS400, RPGLE, RPGXML, and master-data integration; ION-focused postings emphasize ION Desk connection points, data flows, BOD-centric design, XSLT mappings, API Gateway/security, OneView, and Error BOD troubleshooting.

3. Key Responsibilities

• Design, build, and support inbound and outbound integrations between Infor XA and systems such as WMS, supplier portals, finance, ERP/CRM platforms, data platforms, and third-party applications.
• Configure and maintain Infor ION connection points, document/data flows, logical IDs, tenants, Authorized Apps, service-account credentials, IMS via API Gateway, and Enterprise Connector-based integrations.
• Configure and support XA IDF System-Link destinations, replication settings, publish jobs, BOD generation, XA outbox/inbox processing, and inbound BOD handling.
• Develop and maintain mappings and transformations for BOD/XML, XSLT, JSON, CSV/flat files, SQL/JDBC, REST/SOAP APIs, and message-based integrations.
• Support core manufacturing and supply-chain data flows such as Item/Material Master, Vendor/Supplier, BOM, Purchase Orders, Sales Orders, Supplier Invoices, Inventory, Warehouse, and Supplier Exchange.
• Troubleshoot integration failures using ION Desk, OneView, Error BODs, XA Transaction Status, System-Link logs, SLO/SLS/NLS logs, API Gateway errors, credential issues, certificate issues, and logical ID mismatches.
• Implement integration logging, retry/error handling, validation, monitoring, documentation, and deployment support across Dev/Test/Prod.
• Work with functional analysts, ERP SMEs, infrastructure teams, vendors, and business users to translate process requirements into reliable integration designs.

Infor’s XA configuration guidance describes XA generating BODs through System-Link, placing them in the XA ION outbox, ION Connect routing them through data flows, and inbound BODs returning through the System-Link inbox for processing.

4. Required Qualifications

• Must-have: Hands-on experience developing or supporting integrations involving Infor XA / MAPICS.
• Must-have: Hands-on experience with Infor ION / ION Desk, including connection points, document flows/data flows, BODs, and production troubleshooting.
• Must-have: Practical understanding of XA IDF System-Link, including destinations, replication settings, publish jobs, outbox/inbox concepts, and BOD processing.
• Must-have: Strong working knowledge of BOD-centric integration, including XML payloads, BOD verbs such as Sync/Process/Acknowledge/Get/Show, system-of-record concepts, and event-driven data publishing.
• Must-have: Experience with REST/SOAP APIs, XML, XSLT, JSON, CSV/flat files, SQL, authentication, error handling, and data transformation.
• Must-have: Ability to troubleshoot failed integrations end to end across application, middleware, data, credential, network, and payload layers.
• Must-have: Familiarity with IBM i / AS400 / Power Systems environments supporting XA integrations; RPGLE, CL, RPGXML, or DB2 for i experience is strongly relevant.
• Must-have: Prior experience supporting integration testing, deployment, documentation, and production support.
