Questions
How do I identify the Chris21 endpoint URI?
I am trying to connect to a new customer's Chris21 instance (via PortBridge, just to make it more complicated) and they don't appear to have a "Scalable/c21connect.asp" endpoint in their Chris21 install. How do I work out what URI to use instead?
Answer
Hi Adrian,
You'd have to check which web service version the customer is running on their Chris21 instance - the HTTP communication method or the Web Services method (see UNIFYBroker/Frontier chris21 Prerequisites / UNIFYBroker knowledge / UNIFY Solutions for more details). I believe the Web Services option is the preferred option for Frontier at the moment.
The HTTP Communication method is generally available at the Scalable/c21connect.asp endpoint, although the Scalable prefix can be configured differently based on the installation.
The Web Services method is generally found at this endpoint: WebServices/service/FTRWebService.asmx
The customer should generally know which method they have deployed based on the modules they're licenced for.
I was able to find the endpoint by going to the Chris21 web server's IIS, Exploring the web site and finding the path to the file called c21connect.asp.
