Setup

The FIMMAS Data Services API needs to be installed, configured and registered as a service on your Data Services Server. You must have at least one Data Service API for each APPX/FIMMAS database that will be made available to external sources. Each instance of the API must be assigned a unique port number. An external process connects to APPX through the API by specifying the server and port number on which the API is installed. The API will reference the configuration settings associated with that port, and initiate an APPX session to perform the requested action and/or obtain the requested data.

Each instance of the FIMMAS Data Services API references an APPX data login manager. The data login manager controls which FIMMAS database that instance of the API will access.

Prerequisites

  1. Ensure that you have an APPX data login manager connection service for the FIMMAS database you want to connect to, using the instructions from System Admin – APPX Data Login Manager.
