Customize pre-processors

You can add and customize new pre-processors for the SFBI module. These custom pre-processors should be tested completely and appropriate approval process should be completed before deploying them in production.

To add and customize new pre-processors:

1. Create a new .NET 4.6.2 class library project.
2. Copy the following DLLs from the SFBI deployment package and add a reference to the .NET project created in the previous step:
   • PhaseForward.ServicesSolutions.IIE.PreProcessors
   • PhaseForward.ServicesSolutions.IIE.Utilities
   • PhaseForward.ServicesSolutions.InFormImportExport
3. Create a new class that implements the "IPreProcessor" interface or inherits from the "PreProcessorBase" class.
   In the following example, the new class name is "MyCustomPreProc”.

   using System;
   using System.Collections.Generic;
   using System.Linq;
   using System.Text;
   
   namespace PhaseForward.ServicesSolutions.InFormImportExport
   {
       public class MyCustomPreProc : PreProcessorBase
       {
           public MyCustomPreProc(string name, string rootFolder) : base(name) { }
   
           public override MyCustomPreProc Process(PreProcessorParams preProcParams)
           {
               //Set mandatory properties using method from base class
   	     SetupProcessing(preProcParams);
               //curParams.FileType = File Type 
               //curParams.InboundFile = Full File Path
               //curParams.InboundFileName = File Name
               //curParams.InboundFileExtension = File Extension
               //curParams.MedMLPatientData = MedML datastructure
               return curParams;
           }        
       }
   }
   

4. Copy the compiled DLL file to <Installed Path>\IvrsIntegration\bin directory.
5. Update the ObjectFactory configuration file located in <Installed Path>\IvrsIntegration\bin directory as follows:

   <object type=" MyCustomPreProc" class="PhaseForward.ServicesSolutions.InFormImportExport. MyCustomPreProc" assembly=" PhaseForward.ServicesSolutions.IIE.Preprocessors"/>

6. Add the pre-processor to the configuration file in <Installed Path>\IvrsIntegration\<VendorName>\<ConfigName>\Configuration as follows:

   <PreProcessors>
       <PreProcessor Name="Dispatcher" />
       <PreProcessor Name="FormFrozen" />
       <PreProcessor Name="FormLocked" />
       <PreProcessor Name="FormComment" />
       <PreProcessor Name="DataConstraintChecker" />
       <PreProcessor Name="MyCustomPreProc" />
       <PreProcessor Name="FileGenerator" />
   </PreProcessors>
   

7. 7. Restart the SFBI windows service and application pool.

Note:

: If the newly added pre-processor is still not visible, add the pre-processor to the configuration file (Inform_IVRS_<trial>_<VendorName>_<ConfigName>.config) in <Installed Path>\IvrsIntegration\<Website> as follows:

<PreProcessors>
    <PreProcessor Name="Dispatcher" />
    <PreProcessor Name="FormFrozen" />
    <PreProcessor Name="FormLocked" />
    <PreProcessor Name="FormComment" />
    <PreProcessor Name="DataConstraintChecker" />
    <PreProcessor Name="MyCustomPreProc" />
    <PreProcessor Name="FileGenerator" />
</PreProcessors>
