flex.bi setup

Note

REST API is only available to users who:

1) have purchased the flex.bi "Standard" or "Business" plan.

2) have HansaWorld version STDERP_8.1-2015-06-02

...

Then you will be able to perform imports with REST API.

HansaWorld setup

  1. You need to know the web port of your HansaWorld server (which is not the same as you normal port used for HansaWorld client). Normally it should be specified in Technics>>Program Mode.

    Note

    As web port can be overridden by server startup scripts, firewall or other configurations we recommend to contact your HansaWorld partner and/or hosting partner to find out the actual port number used

     

  2. You need to know the URL or IP address of your HansaWorld server that can be used for web requests from the Internet.
  3. Add new row in Webshop>>Settings>>Allow functions on web>>WebDataAPI (you can restrict the usage of this by specifying allowed ip addresses)

  4. Test in your browser or other software designed for REST API request testing that this functionality is working with URL
    http://ip:port/WebDataAPI.hal?register=BaseCurBlock

As a result you should get a short JSON formatted result with your base currencies from first company which means connection is working and flex.bi will care of the rest

Warning

We suggest that you discuss security measures with your HansaWorld or hosting partner to ensure that data access is secured only for flex.bi
