Designing Your External System Feature Configuration

For certain types of external systems, your application may define options used to configure the interaction between your product and your external system. The feature configuration table is used to define some settings applicable to the interaction with your external system, for example:

  • The Options grid allows you to define information needed to communicate with the external system.
  • The Messages collection allows you to map each message that you may receive from the external system to a corresponding message in this system.
Note: Recommendation. We recommend creating a new message for every message that is being mapped. This ensures that changes to future base product messages do not affect the integration.
