Configuring Argus Bridge for file scan

Argus can scan the external files before being pushed into the configured Document Management System or the Argus database itself. This file scan is performed using your file scan system, which is integrated with Argus using a custom adaptor.

Note:

This menu is visible only if you belong to groups with access set to Enabled on the Webservice screen in Console > Access Management > Argus > Groups > Menus > Webservice.

To set up the file scan service:

  1. Build the adapter
    Based on the file scan service to be used for file scan, an adapter must be developed that includes generation of a DLL file and a configuration JSON file.

    Note:

    For more details, contact Oracle Support.
  2. Configure the bridge for integration with file scan adapter in Console.
    1. Go to Console > System Configuration > Webservice > Bridge Configuration.
    2. In the Service Assembly section, enter the following parameters:
      1. In the Service drop down, select File Scan.
      2. In the Class Name field, enter the DLL name (complete qualified classname in the custom adapter). For example, Oracle.Argus.Bridge.Implementations.FileScan.FileScanAdapterOnPrem.
      3. In the Assembly File Name field, enter the name of the adapter DLL file created via the configuration files on the web server to configure the translation adapter. For example, FileScanDemoOnPrem.dll.
      4. In the Configuration JSON File, upload the configuration file created in Step 1 with .json extension containing configurations required by the file scan adapter such as API URL, maximum character limit, delimiter, username, password, and so on.
      5. In the Service Status field, the status of the translation adapter appears as:
        • Not configured (default)
        • Configured
        • Argus Safety API Load Balancer URL is not configured

          Note:

          You can configure the API Load Balancer URL option in the default enterprise. For more information, see Configuring Network Settings.

      Note:

      These settings are applied at global level and not enterprise specific.
  3. When the configuration is complete, perform an IISRESET for the settings to become effective.

To upload the File Scan Adapter DLL file on each Web server

Follow the steps below to place the adapter DLL file created in step 2 of Translation service setup from above in the correct folder for each Web server:

  1. Open the argus.ini file and go to the ArgusInstallPath folder location. Folder example: C:\Program Files\Oracle\Argus\ArgusWeb\ASP\.
  2. From the ArgusInstallPath folder, go to the Argus.NET\bin\AdapterBin folder.
  3. Copy the File Scan Adapter file inside the AdapterBin > FILESCAN folder.
  4. Go back to the ArgusInstallPath, but this time go back two folders to the Argus folder. File path example: C:\Program Files\Oracle\Argus.
  5. From the Argus folder, go to API\Bridge\AdapterBin.
  6. Copy the File Scan Adapter file from inside the AdapterBin\FILESCAN folder.
