Configure EventNotification Endpoint and Enterprise Service for CUI

EventNotification Endpoint is a middleware which is responsible for receiving incoming COMOS event notifications, queuing them internally and forwarding them to the UBIK^® Enterprise Service for further processing. This page describes how to setup the system.

Overview

• Make sure the Enterprise Service and the USAM are installed on the IIS Server.
• Install the Notification Endpoint Webservice on the IIS Server
• Configure all mandatory settings for the Notification Endpoint Webservice
• Configure the Notification Endpoint Webservice URL in COMOS and enable notifications
• Make sure all files are accessible

Install Notification Endpoint

• Download the Notification Endpoint Webservice from the release portal.
• Deploy the Notification Endpoint Webservice to the designated web app folder on the IIS Server (web app folder needs to be created if necessary)
  • IIS Manager setting check: see IIS Manager
• Make sure COMOS is configured to send notifications.

Direct Access

• Add a new website under the "Sites" folder in IIS Manager.
• Connect the new site to the corresponding physical folder via the website's "basic settings".
  
  • "Site Name",
• Configure a "Binding" for the website.
  
  • The URL can be used as a direct access target,
• or used as an internal target for URL redirection.

URL redirection

• Click on the Web Site, which will be exposed to the outside
• Open "URL Rewrite" at "....Home"
• Add rule(s) as 'Inbound Rule' like the following:

Rewrite URL is defined base on direct access

Notification Endpoint

Adapt “Your/EventNotificationEndpoint/Folder/Configuration/config.json” file, configure at least the mandatory settings:

• "USAMUrl": The URL of the USAM Service
• "QueuePath": The folder containing all files, which will be sent to Enterprise Service for processing. After having been processed by ES, the corresponding files will be deleted.
• "InComingLogPath": All received COMOS notifications will be stored here
• "ProcessUrl": The URL of the Enterprise Service web interface

Optional settings:

• "LogPath": Path to your log files folder
• "DeleteLogAfter": Maximum age (in days) to keep log files for
• "DBkeys": Json string array containing the white list of COMOS DBkeys (empty or delete for receiving all DBkeys)

Enterprise Service

• Go to the UBIK.EnterpriseService folder,
• Copy and paste UBIK.Interface.CUI.dll to the “Injection” folder (create it if it does not exist).
• Open UBIK.EnterpriseService.exe.config, find the “appSettings” section, configure all necessary information, and add the "ContentControllerConfigPath" setting to the end:

<appSettings>
    <!-- System.Diagnostics.ProcessWindowStyle: Normal = 0, Hidden = 1, Minimized = 2, Maximized = 3 -->
    <add key="ConsoleRunMode" value="1" />
    <!-- Nothing = 0, Mark = 1, Delete = 2 -->
    <add key="CommandFileAction" value="0" />
    <add key="ClearWatchFolders" value="0" />
    <!-- Path to json file. Pointing to EnterpriseServicePluginExecutionConfigHolder -->
    <add key="PluginExecutionConfigPath" value="" />
    <add key="ClientSettingsProvider.ServiceUri" value="" />
    <!--TEST IF ONLINE USING BROWSER  // GET http://localhost:9000/api/basicenterpriseservice/getuptimeinfo-->
    <!-- switch on WebInterface: 1, switch off WebInterface : 0 -->
    <add key="ExecuteWebInterface" value="1" />
    <add key="ExecuteTaskByJsonFile" value="0" />
    <!-- Notification Endpoint config ProcessUrl -->
    <add key="WebInterfacePort" value="9000" />
    <add key="WebInterfaceHost" value="http://localhost" />
    <!-- Add this to the ES config file -->
    <add key="ContentControllerConfigPath" value="your\setting\path\ContentController.json" />
</appSettings>

Make sure ContentController.json exists.

• Create or adapt ContentController.json according to your database connection:

{
   "SqlConnectionDefinition":
    {
      "SSPI": false (or true, based on your DB setting),
      "SQLUser": "username",
      "SQLPassword": "password",
      "SQLServer": "your SQL Server",
      "SQLInitialCatalog": "DB name"
    }
}
