The Application Setup Process

The process of setting up a new application in the eaDirect Command Center requires three general steps. If you have multiple applications, it is best to set up one application at a time.

To set up a new eaDirect application, you must:

1.   Create a new application. This short step requires you to define, or name, the application in the eaDirect Command Center, identify the data source, and specify the number of partitions to use for the Index database table. See Creating a New Application.

2.   Create and configure the associated production jobs. To implement your application in a live environment, you must configure various production jobs. See What Jobs Do I Need to Create? for a description of the types of jobs you must create to make your statement data available for online presentment.
For each job, you must choose the configuration options that will enable your eaDirect application to function as intended. For some jobs, you must also publish associated design files when you configure the job.

3.   Publish files (version sets). See What Jobs Do I Need to Create? for a description of what views are and how eaDirect uses dynamic Web views to extract and present statements online.

Once you have defined your eaDirect application, created and configured jobs, and published the dynamic Web views, you can proceed to set up a schedule for each job and begin live production. Note that eaDirect does not automatically schedule jobs to run; you must manually specify job schedules for production. See Scheduling Jobs.
