How to verify the Basic Environment Setup for MEC Development

In this post, I thought of describing how to make sure that the basic environment is setup for the MEC development.

You should have the following installed and properly configured.

1. M3 Enterprise Collaborator (Should contain Flat File Repository Manager, Partner Administrator)
2. LifeCycle Manager
3. Infor Smart Office (in a case if you need to verify what you have done)

Check for the Infor installation folder in one of your disk partition, most probably it should be in your system partition. Inside of that there should be a folder called MEC.  Inside of that check for the below files and folders.

1. CentralFiles : is the pre-configured folder where Inbound channels are configured to drop the files.
2. Mapper :  Eclips pre installed folder, Inside plugins folder, check whether for com.lawson.xxxx like folders.
3. Workspaces : Eclips work-spaces,

If you have these

1. Flat File Repository Manager
2. Partner Administrator
3. Eclips (from the Mapper folder, you might be prompted to enter ION password if you have configured the ION Mapper)
3. LifeCycle Manager (Provide the your user name/password)

From the next article I'll take a sample scenario and explain how the Flat File Definition tool is used.
