Installation and configuration of the Exact Entity service for Exact Globe(SOAP/REST Webservice API)
The following details regarding installation and
configuration of Globe need to be taken into consideration if a machine is
meant to be used by 3rd party solutions that exchange data through
the Entity service. Installation
The machine that serves as host for the Entity service needs
to have a full workstation installation of Exact Globe installed. This installation
includes a windows service that hosts an instance of the Entity service. No
additional software needs to be installed provided the host machine meets all documented system requirements,
including the correct version of WCF Data services.
SQL Server
The SQL server instance that holds the Globe database needs
to have the special user named “baco” defined as a login. This user will
normally be automatically created when a new Globe company is created on that
database instance.
The Globe database needs to have the application role named “baco”
defined. Please contact Support if this role has been removed or tampered with.
Configuration of Globe
The host needs to be authorized within the Globe
administration as a valid endpoint for the Entity service. To do this, start
Globe, on the host machine, as administrator (elevated rights are needed to create the configuration
file this process sets up), using a user that has the Administrator role in
Globe (needed to access the menu path this function runs under). Go to the menu
path System\HR&Security\Workstations. In this screen, press the button
labeled “Add services”. If this machine has already been authorized as valid
Entity service host, this button will instead be labeled “Remove services”, and
pressing it will actually revoke webservice authorization.
The user calling the Entity service (whose credentials are
supplied in the HTTP request) needs to have sufficient rights in Globe to
functionally perform the actions that the webservice call is expected to
perform. For example, if the webservice is to be used to create sales orders,
the user used in the request needs to have all rights needed to enter sales
orders through the menu patch Order\Entry\Sales orders.
