The Weave/Pathway integration provides a two-way link between Weave and Pathway. That is Pathway can call out to Weave to display information and Weave can call out to Pathway to display information.

For additional information about using the newer Weave Hub integration please see this pageĀ Weave Hub - Third-party Application Integration.

Client Workstation

The link between Weave and Pathway requires the installation of components on each client computer that will be requiring communication between Weave and Pathway.

The following two section sections outline the installation and configuration of these components.

...

This should be performed using the regsvr32.exe application provided with Windows, e.g.

Code Block
nonenone
linenumberstrue
regsvr32 pathway.dll
regsvr32 weavepathway.dll

...

Some versions of Pathway require an executable file to be entered as one of the configuration parameters, a dummy executable, WeaveLaunch.exe, can be use used if an executable is required.

Note

The WeaveLaunch.exe can be found here WeaveLaunch.exe if required.

Un-installation

The installation can be undone by using regsvr32 with the "/u" parameter, e.g.

true
Code Block
nonenonelinenumbers
regsvr32 /u pathway.dll
regsvr32 /u weavepathway.dll

...

Entities in Weave must be linked to one of the four levels, prop PROP, parc PARC, titl TITL and/or strt STRT, in Pathway.

Firstly the pathway namespace must be added to the config.xml file header (or a separate pathway.xml file can be created and included into in config.xml)

xml
Code Block
xml
linenumberstrue
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<config xmlns="urn:com.cohga.server.config#1.0" xmlns:pathway="urn:com.cohga.pathway#1.0">
...
</config>

then the pathway configuration must be setup set up to link the pathway levels with the Weave entities

xml
Code Block
xml
linenumberstrue
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<config xmlns="urn:com.cohga.server.config#1.0" xmlns:pathway="urn:com.cohga.pathway#1.0">

  <pathway:config>
    <link level="PARC" entity="property"/>
    <link level="STRT" entity="roads"/>

    <!-- Set the name of the Pathway database to launch if it's not already running -->
    <!-- this is the newer way of setting what Pathway has to be launched -->
    <database>Pathway</database>

    <!-- Optionally set the name of the Pathway application to launch if it's not already running -->
    <!-- this is the older way of setting what Pathway has to be launched, you should probably use database above -->
    <launch>C:\\Infor\\Pathway\\Demo\\msc\\Pathway.exe</launch>
  </pathway:config>

</config>

...

Once the levels have been created the Pathway related actions can be added to the client configuration.

Code Block
xmlxml
linenumberstrue
  <item action="com.cohga.client.actions.menuAction">
    <iconCls>icon-pathway_pathway</iconCls>
    <item action="com.cohga.pathway.Display" text="Display"/>
    <item action="com.cohga.pathway.SendQuery" text="Send Query"/>
    <item action="com.cohga.pathway.DisplayOther" text="Display Other"/>
    <item action="com.cohga.pathway.SendQueryOther" text="Send Query Other"/>
    <item action="com.cohga.pathway.CreateLink" text="Create Link"/>
    <item action="com.cohga.pathway.Return" text="Return"/>
  </item>
