What is required for a SmartConnector extension to connect with several EWS servers?

Hi,

Currently our SmartConnector extension connects to one EWS server. See the attached screen capture. What is required to connect with several EWS servers?

Thank you.

Hi,

There is no issue connecting with several EWS servers, both Smartconnector EWS servers through the API and external EBO servers through the EWS client.

Hi Armend,

Thank you for your answer. 

Can you please explain what should be changed in the SmartConnector Processer settings?

What should be the EWS connection address when we need to connect to several EWS servers? See the attached screen capture.

Thanks.

I am guessing, since you haven't provided any other information, that this is an external EWS server that you are connecting to through EWS and not an EWS server that gets set up in Smartconnector.

These configuration values come from your code. You need to do the same as you've done with the current one. You need to expose properties for the second server so you can configure another server and use them in your code.

Hi Armend,

Thank you for your answer. We have several SmartConnector extensions. All of them include SmartConnector processors configuration in SmartConnector. 

Currently the Ews Connection contains an Address field. For example: "http://192.168.1.1:82/EcoStruxure/DataExchange".

As I understand this address is related to one EWS server. Should we have multiple addresses for multiple EWS servers?

For example:

"http://192.168.1.1:82/EcoStruxure/DataExchange"

"http://192.168.1.2:82/EcoStruxure/DataExchange"

"http://192.168.1.3:82/EcoStruxure/DataExchange"

Thank you.

Without more information, I would say you probably need multiple "Ews Connection" classes. Each EWS server also has login credentials.

Hi Armend,

Thank you for your answer. Is there a limit of the number of EWS servers one SmartConnector processor can connect with?

Do you have a sample SmartConnector extension that connects with more than one EWS server?

Thank you.
