Infor M3 & Movex Tip of the Week: What are M3 Web Services?

Frank Petrasio 0 37353 Article rating: 5.0

M3 Web Services Server is the runtime engine for M3 Web Services, which are wrappers for the business functionality provided by supported backend applications such as M3 Business Engine.

The M3 Web Services Grid Management pages provide some basic administrative capabilities. For example, you can view deployed web services, check the server setup for errors, do some basic configuration management, and manage web service security.

To create your own web services, you must also install the M3 Web Services Designer component, which allows you to design, model, deploy, and test web services.

Is your company on an older version of Infor LX, BPCS, Infor LN, Baan, Infor M3 or Movex?

What will you do when your ERP is no longer supported in 2021?

This is a confusing time for many companies with respect to their ERP system.

"Will I still be able to run my current version?"
"What happens if I want to stay on my version?"
"What options do I have?"

Crossroads RMC is here to help you sort through the confusion and get you to a place where you feel confident about your ERP future.

Let's get started with how we can help. I want Crossroads RMC to…

  • Conduct an Infor ERP Utilization Review – Should I consider moving to the latest version of LX in the cloud, or on prem? If I don’t, what are my options?
     
  • Set up an Infor ERP Demo System – I want to give my employees a chance to try out the latest version to see if it would be of benefit.
     
  • Train My Employees – I want to ensure that we’re operating based on best practices.
     
  • Integrate My ERP to External Systems – My company uses separate systems that don’t talk to one another and that is really inefficient.
     
  • Brainstorm With Me – I’m not sure what to do. I need to talk through some scenarios with someone who has been there, done that.
     
  • Support My Users – I’m short-staffed. I may upgrade, or I may stay where I’m at. Either way, I could use someone to handle our ERP issues. Please help!

Infor M3 & Movex Tip: What is a Start Page?

Frank Petrasio 0 39570 Article rating: 5.0

The Start page is the initial page that you will see when you open M3 H5.
Start pages provide a way to organize and keep track of tasks and programs. It contains widgets, which can give you quick access to the different features available in H5. The type of widgets to be added, their arrangement, and their size can also be customized.

The Start page can be accessed by clicking the home tab located below the Favorites menu. Start pages are available in both Enterprise and Foundation editions. However, H5 Foundation users will only see a static start page that cannot be configured or changed.

A Start page administrator can configure a default start page or a set of start pages for specific users or groups.
