Integration

The ITP Document Platform was designed to be a solution that supports a wide range of document creation requirements. Aia Software has created a broad range of integration capabilities for different applications and databases. Sample code is available for the specific integration with Microsoft Dynamics CRM and SharePoint.

Application Programming Interfaces
Various interfaces (APIs) are available to integrate ITP in programs developed in one of the Microsoft development environments. The ITP Document Platform is delivered with the following APIs:

• XML Web Services
• .Net library
• Windows DLL and command-line
• Windows COM library
• MQ Series
• iSeries CMD
• Java submission Interface (native Java class)
• Directory Watch

Database Connectors
ITP provides a Software Development Kit with wizards to generate database descriptions for a wide variety of platforms.

XML Connection
The XML Connection is used to retrieve data from XML files. A wizard is provided that can generate a complete ITP Database Interface Definition from a sample XML file or an XML Schema.

XML Web Services Connection
The XML Web Services Connection provides access to Web Services that are able to provide XML data over an HTTP connection. This can be used, for example, to access data in a SAP system. A wizard can generate an ITP Database Interface Definition from a WSDL file.

ODBC Connection
With the ODBC Connection, ITP can read data from databases directly via SQL queries. You can link any database accessible by ODBC to ITP. A wizard is provided to generate an ITP Database Interface Definition for database tables and queries.

Oracle Connection
The Oracle Connection works similarly to the ODBC connection, but can be used to connect to Oracle databases directly using queries written in Oracle SQL.

iSeries Connection
The iSeries Connection is used to access database files on the iSeries host platform or to call data retrieval programs on that platform.
