Re: [it-dashboard-developers] XML Uploads

[Jose M. <jm...@re...>]

Latika,

Thank you for your interest in the IT Dashboard application. To answer your question on the level of effort, please clarify the following: Is your intent to submit the same amount data that is collected and verified against the current Exhibit 53 and Exhibit 300 schemas on the live IT Dashboard? Or do you need the schemas to be altered to accept only the data that is currently collected by your existing web app?

>From my understanding, it seems you would prefer the latter, with a system-to-system integration to minimize the steps involved in populating your dashboard from your existing system. The amount of work involved also depends on how much the data in your project management app differs from the data on the current IT Dashboard.

Hi,
     Thanks for this prompt reply.

After deploying ITDashboard on my local server, i showed it to my superiors. After this, they are keen and want it to be integrated with our existing web app for tracking projects. However, i would appreciate if certain things can be clarified before i commit anything to my seniors.
In our case also, we have data entry screens for accepting project details. How using ITDashboard, we can ask officials(naive users) to upload data in XML format. Please let me know.
Also, how much effort will be required for such an integration keeping in mind that similar sort of information in captured by our project management app. also.


Thanks and Regards,
Latika

Hi,

Glad to hear you were able to get everything up and running. You can get the schemas for the API at the below locations under webroot

Ex53: sites/all/modules/omb53_api/schemas
Ex300: sites/all/modules/restful_api/schemas

Should you wish to redownload the schemas please get them from one of the Release packages as the current SVN versions are unstable.

Data entry screens have been discarded and we will remove the reference to them soon.

Regards,
Gaurav

Hi,
  I have downloaded and installed the demo application on my local server. And  its running perfectly. I have uploaded sample data also. If i want to upload some other data how can i do that? Is there any schema defined for Exhibit 53 Data for e.g. How are users of the ITDASHBOARD website uploading the data? Also, in the XML Uploads screen, its written that the users can enter data through data entry screens. But i can't find them. Is this disabled in demo source files. Pl let me know as i still couldn't understand the info upload concept here in ITDashboard.

Regards,
