#Integration guide

##Getting started

1. Request an account with Liquid Partner Forum so you can use it like StackOverflow to get direct answers from Liquid Platform development team. You can search the knowledge base and ask questions.
2. Understand the legacy system you are integrating with. Each system is unique and even among packaged products like SAP each customer implementation is unique.
3. Become familiar with the structure of Liquid Platform schema definitions.
4. Learn to use Mission Control to inspect and customize item schemas.
5. Study the data you are integrating and identify differences between the legacy system of record and Liquid Platform schemas. Customize either one as needed.
6. Identify the integration tool or an ESB that you will use to connect the legacy system of record to your Liquid Platform community.

##Publishing data from a system of record to Liquid Platform

1. Come up with a plan for the refresh of data from the legacy system of record. You will need to be prepared to do this more than once, especially during the development stages.
2. Identify the mechanism by which the integration tool will be connecting to the secured legacy system of record.
3. Using the integration tool configure the mapping of legacy system data onto Liquid Platform schemas.
4. Configure the integration tool to push data to your community in response to data changes.

##Transacting against a system of record

1. Configure the integration tool that will act as a JSON transactions endpoint
