Add eProcess Services Components

After creating a new solution and deleting the directories and files (created by Visual InterDev), you must add the eProcess Services components necessary to extend your application's existing functionality.

Add the necessary components by performing the following steps:

  1. If you have not already done so, open Visual InterDev.
  2. Locate and open your new solution.
  3. Highlight the bolded solution site address in the Project Explorer pane (for example, your_webserver/your_webproject_name).
  4. From the menu bar, click Project and select Add Item.
  5. Click the Existing tab, and navigate to the mapped directory containing the Web Services toolkit files.

If you are developing your web application on a remote work station, you must map a network drive to the directory on the web server that contains the Web Services toolkit files. For example, if you installed the Panagon Web Services application to the default location, you would need to create a temporary network drive map to the <drive>...\Program Files\FileNET\IDM\Web\IDMWS directory on the web server.

  1. From the Files of type pull-down list, select All Files.
  2. Select and highlight all of the files in the list view box. Click Open.
  3. Once the files from the root directory have been added to your new solution, click Project and select Add Item a second time.
  4. Click the Existing tab, and navigate to the mapped directory containing the Web Services toolkit files.
  5. Select and highlight all of the folders, including the \_ScriptLibrary folder. (Refer to the eProcess Services Directory Structure topic for more information of the folders or components you need to add to your solution.)

If you want to use the Panagon Web Application with minor modifications, include the \Application folder in the list of folders to add to the solution.

  1. Click Add Folder.

The selected folders, and their contents, are added to your new solution. The time necessary for the files to be copied to the local repository of the solution depends on the network and server speeds. Once the folders and files are added, the Project Explorer pane lists the files and folders copied into your new web solution. Your web project now has the necessary components for Web WorkFlo application development.

If you created a new application and new directory on your web server, you should check the web server directory permissions. You are now ready to create generic .ASP files for eProcess Services, modify HTML step and launch processors, or modify the .ASP file containers for the Java Step Processor and Launch Step Processors applets.
