EA Integration without Add In
« on: September 19, 2018, 06:21:17 am »
Hi folks,

Is it to possible do develop some integration automation with EA without the need to develop an Add In? I need to develop a Windows Service that polls from a flatfile csv(comma separated) and updates some specific information into the model. I know that CSV import is available as well as MS Office Add In, but my customer requires this job to be automated and run as a windows services.

If anyone have any clues I will be thankful.

Thanks in advace.

Best regards,

José Compadre Junior

Running EA as service is almost impossible (though there a rumors that LieberLieber has some kind of solution). What you can do is to go directly to the database which should be reasonable with what I read from the short description. However, bypassing the API this way requires profound knowledge of what happens when doing so.

Because it's not a daemon, it's an obese client application.

Hi,

Another option could be to get your client to install Pro Cloud Server and then use the web services interface provided. I've not looked at the interface yet - but I understand its limited, but could meet your requirement. See here:

It will also work if you have a user logged in all the time. Automated task schedule can then access your model through the com module.
