MONITOR AFx™ Director V4.1 User's Guide
500-9041 v4.1
Introduction
MONITOR AFx Director provides an
automated user import feature--allowing it to
be interfaced with a personnel management
system (Also called: "
E
nterprise
R
esource
M
anagement").
Caution:
This requires
source data with very specific structure.
Required Software Version and
Licensing
This feature requires MONITOR AFx Director
software
V4.10
or newer, with "
Elite+
"
software licensing.
Note:
You will see
"
Advanced Features
" authority in the license
manager utility.
Conceptual Aspects
•
Link/Database Query:
Allow looking at what's
in the Director database. This is covered
previously/above.
•
ErmUserImport
and
ErmUserImportResult
Tables: The ErmUserImport table can be
updated by your custom software, and then
polled on a regular basis (configurable) by
the Director software, thus allowing user
information to be updated automatically.
When the information is imported, results
and errors will be posted to the
ErmUserImportResult table--providing
feedback on how things went.
Note:
It is your responsibility to delete data as
needed to keep this table at a manageable size.
•
Director's Automatic User Import Feature
:
This allows setting up MONITOR AFx
Director to automatically poll the
ErmUserImport table (details to follow).
Software Interface ("Middleware") Tasks
The ERM interface typically includes custom
software that:
•
Queries the database to verify present
content, and/or run custom reports;
•
Writes data-commands (Add/Edit/Delete) to
the
ErmUserImport
table;
•
Checks the
ErmUserImportResult
table for
errors,
(and deletes processed information to keep
the file to a manageable size);
•
Prompts an IT / system operator to fix any
errors in the source data/commands.
Required Data Format
Refer to the "Director ERM User Import"
document which is included on the MONITOR
AFx Director CD.
Activating This Feature for a Closed
Database System
"Query User Login" and "Import User Login"
information is required for this feature. In an
open database system, you are prompted
automatically for this during the installation.
With a "Closed Database" (typical) system,
you'll need to set this through the table repair
utility. (For details, see a previous topic /
above.)
