Capita Housing/Academy

Integration

This information was supplied by Capita Software Services (CSS), not only are the contents subject to change without notification but some of the processes or steps explained in the testing of the integration may require additional support from CSS.

Also note that references to JOBFAX have been superceded by Inter•View although where configuration parameters are involved, these settings continue to use the JOBFAX nomenclature.

Once the Inter•View Client has been installed on the PC or Terminal Services server the Academy system needs to be configured to allow the exchange of data with Inter•View.

Academy Enviroment Variables

The following environment variables need to be set in the Academy Launcher:

Name	Description
ACADEMY_EXTREPAPP	Versions 3 – 6: Set to JOBFAX Version 7: Set to JOBFAXXML This MUST be in capital letters.
ACADEMY_EXTREPPATH	A complete path to a Keyfax component which Academy uses to determine if the Keyfax Client is present. E.g. C:\Program Files\Keyfax\testocx.exe. Note: early Keyfax integrations installed a program named keyfax.exe; this is no longer supplied.
ACADEMY_EXTREPOUT	The complete absolute path of the output file produced by Inter•View. Version 3 – 6: ‘C:\Program Files\Keyfax\export.ini' Version 7: ‘C:\Program Files\Keyfax\export.xml'
II_LIBU3GL	This Ingres variable has to be modified to include a new Dynamic Link Library called KEYFAX DLL, which is supplied by CSS and should be included in the PCIMAGES area. (Note that this DLL may be corrupted and if problems are encountered, should be replaced - see Keyfax DLL below).
ACADEMY_JOBPASS	Set to the global password defined on Inter•View Repair Diagnostics i.e. Global

Executable

The Academy PC Images folder should contain an executable file supplied by CSS (EXTEVENT.EXE), which Inter•View will call once a repair script is completed. The location of this program must be known before any Inter•View Client installations are run. The path must be specified in the installation configuration file KFnnINSTALL.INI (where nn = 32 or 40) e.g.

[Install]

...
HostApplication=Academy
InformHostApp=C:\pcimages\extevent.exe (example)
InformHostAppCodes=1
...

Inter•View will call the ‘EXTEVENT.EXE' application for various status codes as specified; this is usually set to '1'

NOTE: If you need to build/deploy a new image (e.g. gold build), for expediency you should be aware that a registry change will have the same effect.

The HKEY path will vary depending on the OS.
