Explanation of the integration process

First a general approach on how to setup Diagnostics in your environment. Diagnostics is from your point of view a third party product. We encourage you not to change anything in the product folders and files. Instead you should add an “Integration product” for Diagnostics. Download customer_diagnostics as an template for your situation. Replace all occurrences of “customer_” with “your_company_name_” and you have your structure ready for your installation.  Add this structure to your customization folder for the GE Smallworld GIS. Next step is to add a reference in the build module like:

 

Steps:

1. Setup your own custom_integration product
2. Separate Diagnostics Product from custom code with the custom_integration product you created in step 1
3. Set some environment variables and setup your configuration files (See Administration manual) in the customization product or according configuration guidelines of your company

Advantages:

• You can easily upgrade to a new version of Diagnostics. We provide backwards compatibility
• You can easily add new customization modules, just by dropping them in your customization folder
• A clear separation between third party and your own custom software
