Provision Connexion

Provisioning of the Integrator network requires the following steps:

1. Download Connexion (Developer Build) in the datacenter environment.
2. Run the installer, but do not yet run through the configuration wizard. The installer will deploy the files to the Program Files (x86)\ConnexionV14 folder.
3. Copy the Hub database script files into the Program Files (x86)\ConnexionV14\Connexion.AdvanceServices folder. If this folder does not exist, create it.
4. Open the connexion.exe.config file in the Program Files (x86)\ConnexionV14 directory and set the Hub to enabled.
   
   
5. If your database server for Connexion is not local, it is probably the case that your CXN_AdvancedServices database is also not local. If so, you will need to edit the connexion.exe.config file and update the database connection string for the CXN_AdvancedServices database.
    
   The portion of the string that needs to change is
   
   If you are using Sql Server authentication, and connecting to a machine named "dbserver1", with user "sa", and password "mypassword", the connection string would look like this:
    
   NOTE: If you are unfamiliar with database connection strings, please seek help from your IT staff. 
    
6. Continue the configuration process by stepping through the configuration wizard.
7. Add a link to the Integrator Management UI by right clicking on the Program Files (x86)\ConnexionV14\Connexion.Integrator.Management.Ui.exe and choosing Send To > Desktop.
   
   

Set External Endpoint

When testing on the same network, you can ignore this step.

...

We now have a row in our pending table. Notice the 'Status' shows 'Awaiting Connection'. The hub is now waiting for a remote agent with a specific signature to connect. The signature is contained within the registration file we just created. Let's install the Remote Agent software and connect to the hub.

Installing the Remote Agent

...

The remote agent (customer site) has now been successfully installed.

Authorizing a Remote Agent

Now that the customer's Remote Agent has been installed, we need to open the Management UI, find the entry for that customer, and authorize it.

...

Notice our customer connection state is 'Connected', and the Hub displays the endpoint that this Remote Agent is connecting through. Congratulations you have now installed all the components to create a Connexion network, and established an authorized connection between both endpoints.

Managing Remote Agent Channels

...

Notice the route box now appears at the beginning of the channel, and instead of specifying which channel you are sending to (in Connexion), you specify which channel you are receiving from (in Connexion).
