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

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

Client Workstation

The link between Weave and ProClaim requires the installation of components on each client computer that will be communicating between Weave and ProClaim.

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

Installation

The ProClaim components are installed on the server as part of the Interop installer. When the Interop installer is run and ProClaim chosen as one of the components to install this will install the server side components and also copy the client components to the server in the weave\interop\proclaim directory, these components, along with the WeaveLink components must be registered on any client PC that will be linking between Weave and ProClaim.

Registration of the ProClaim components should be performed using the regsvr32.exe application provided with Windows, e.g.

regsvr32 WeaveProclaimLink.dll
regsvr32 WeaveMapLink.dll

Un-installation

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

regsvr32 /u WeaveProclaimLink.dll
regsvr32 /u WeaveMapLink.dll

Server

Configuration

Server

For Weave to communicate with ProClaim a number of parameters need to be specified, which can be set separately for different instances of ProClaim.

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

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

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

then the proclaim configuration must be setup to provide the connection information required for ProClaim and to tell Weave what entities to allow the transfer for.

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

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

  <proclaim:config id="production">
    <datasourcename>DSN</datasourcename>
    <server>Server</server>
    <database>Database</database>
    <username>Username</username>
    <password>ENCSEMPKCCSFQTJBFMPABFJEBZJAKFCXGME</password>
    <from>Weave</from>
    <to>ProClaim</to>
    <entity id="property"/>
    <entity id="street"/>
  </proclaim:config>

</config>

The 'entity' tags setup sources for data to send to ProClaim and targets for data sent from ProClaim.
When setting up a linkage in ProClaim to go from Weave to ProClaim the source entity should be set to the 'id' attribute of the entity tag.
When setting up a linkage in ProClaim to go from ProClaim to Weave the destination entity should be set to the 'id' attribute of the entity tag.

Client

Once the server have been configured the ProClaim action can be added to a toolbar in the client configuration.

<item action="com.cohga.proclaim.Send" version="production"/>

You need to include the version to let the Weave to ProClaim link know which connection config to use. The version should match the id of a proclaim:config tag.

Filtering identifiers

If you need to filter the values before sending them to ProClaim, because ProClaim uses different identifiers for the entity than Weave does, then you can specify a filter when seting up the entities in the config details and add the definition for the filter. Note the addition of the new xmlns:filter="urn:com.cohga.selection.filter#1.0" namespace.

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

<config xmlns="urn:com.cohga.server.config#1.0" xmlns:proclaim="urn:com.cohga.proclaim#1.0" xmlns:filter="urn:com.cohga.selection.filter#1.0">

  <proclaim:config id="production">
    <datasourcename>proclaim</datasourcename>
    <server>SQLSERVER2008\SQLEXPRESS</server>
    <database>ProProd</database>
    <username>proclaim</username>
    <password>ENCSEMPKCCSFQTJBFMPABFJEBZJAKFCXGME</password>
    <from>WEAVE</from>
    <to>CES</to>
    <entity id="property" filter="proclaim.production.property"/>
    <entity id="street"/>
  </proclaim:config>

  <filter:db id="proclaim.production.property">
    <datasource>proclaim</datasource>
    <table>GEMS_LINK</table>
    <keycolumn>PID</keycolumn> <!-- column used in spatial database -->
    <idcolumn>PRUPI</idcolumn> <!-- column required for proclaim -->
  </filter:db>

</config>

ProClaim

When registering the Weave application with ProClaim the Automation Component for Weave is WeaveMapLink and the Automation Class is WeaveMapAutomation.

There are two properties for the Weave application that should be set:

• AppWindowName
  • The title of the browser window (matches the start of the actual window title) to locate a running Weave instance.
• URL
  • The URL to start Weave if it is not already running, that is if an Internet Explorer window matching the AppWindowName isn't found

Only Direct Relation criteria type are currently supported.

Client Test Script

The following script can be saved to a file on a client PC as "proclaim.vbs" and run from a command prompt using "cscript proclaim.vbs" to test if the required components are installed and available

on error resume next

dim o

set o = CreateObject("Weave.Link")
if o is nothing then
	WScript.Echo("Don't have Weave.Link")
else
	WScript.Echo("Have Weave.Link")
