Provision Connexion

Provisioning of Connexion the Integrator network requires the following steps:

1. Download and Install Connexion  Connexion 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. 
    Run the Install Wizard located in the Connexion folder of the start menu. This will detect the database scripts and create the Hub database.

6. Download the Remote Agent Management UI to a computer which you will use to manage Remote Agents. Extract the files into a directory and optionally create a shortcut to Connexion.RemoteAgent.ManagementUi.exe on your desktop. 
7. Run the Connexion,RemoteAgent.ManagementUi.exe file to launch the management UI. If the application does not load, ensure that you have the .NET Framework installedContinue the configuration process by stepping through the configuration wizard.
8. 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.

The Management UI does not (currently) let you create or edit channels. Channels must be created in the main Connexion UI and exported to a channel file. Since it is a cumbersome process to be switching into the Connexion UI to perform any channel edits, be as thorough as possible when initially creating the channel.

Please note that in Sprint 1, you must not add a queue device to your channel. It is not currently supported.

Please note that a Remote Agent must be connected in order to add/edit/remove channels. When disconnected, channels are read-only.

not all devices are supported by the Integrator. You cannot use the Branch device or standard Queue device. Please use the Mongo Queue Device located in the Remote Integrator category (when creating your channel in Connexion).

 Once you have created the channel file, switch to the Remote Agent Manager and click the add channel button. Point to the channel file you created from the Connexion UI and click open.

<INSERT>

The following channel operations are supported:

• Start (click the start button)
• Stop (click the stop button)Edit (simply re-imports a channel file - click the wrench button)
• Replace(overwrites the existing channel)
• Export (export the channel to a file and the import it into ConnexionV14).
• Delete
• View (double click on the device icon)
   

...

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).Please note that receiving data in the Remote Agent is not supported in Sprint 1. Once queue devices are supported on the Remote Agent, receiving will be possible.
