Installing PLM Process API

The PLM Process API installation creates a web-based application. This application enables you to access Optiva objects using an Application Programming Interface (API) service.

You can install PLM Process API from the Installation Wizard or from the package directory. In the package > installers directory, the name of the executable is SetupOptivaApi.exe.

You must have ION API – Infor OS installed for Authentication/Security before installing PLM Process API.

1. You should install PLM Process API on a different server than the app server. If PLM Process API has to share a server with another Optiva component, then install it alongside FsOptivaWeb.
2. Change the app server URLs in the FsCollaborationCore section of /OptivaApi/Web.config from localhost to the server on which you installed FsSvcCore.

The installer creates the OptivaApi application pool and sets Authentication Mode for the OptivaApi application to Anonymous.

You can configure a secure (https) connection and restrict access to specific clients. This is a manual, post-installation configuration.
