About the Webinar:
Our exclusive Partner webinar on “An Introduction to the Infor Development Framework for the IBM i” will provide comprehensive guidance on how the Infor Development Framework (IDF) can be used as a “screen scraper” replacement for streamlined and effective IBM i application modernization.
IDF, originally a product of MAPICS that was later acquired by Infor in 2005, is a Java-based framework offering metadata-driven, single codebase architecture and a multi-user interface.
The IDF works on the principle that applications follow predictable patterns described by metadata, starting from the database and metadata defines tables to user interface elements (like lists, graphs, and trees) and navigation. This metadata-driven approach makes IDF flexible for users and efficient for developers.
This powerful tool allows users to configure and customize user interfaces and extend functionalities of IBM i-based ERP systems, tailoring them to meet customer-specific demands and requirements.
In this session, Infor’s very own Phil Joseph will show how to develop feature-rich, IBM i-based ERP solutions using IDF’s low-code/no-code approach.
Key Takeaways
- Understanding IDF
- Exploring IDF’s complete modernization features
- Advanced techniques to modernize legacy green screen RPG applications
- Steps to develop rich application functions using IDF without the need for coding
