Installation of Web Services

Invoice Cloud Web Service (Release 5.1)

To install the following are the installation steps for the Invoice Cloud Web Service:

1. Deploy the Release 5.0.9 of the Resources Files.
2. Install and configure the WCF Accounts Receivable API [Filename: WCFAccountsReceivableAPI.zip].
3. Modify the web.config file to use the GoverNetConfig.xml of the deployment [Location: In the root of the specific deployment folder]
4. When installing Release 5.1 of the web service, administrators will need to manually create the following table in (Table: NA_NAMES: WEBPROFILEACCESSRT (Smallint, Allows Null). This field was added to provide support for the eGov and is used in the business rules of the Names.

Verification of the Service

The WcfTestClient.exe application is used to test the web service. This application can be obtained on the Govern FTP site or from Govern Technical Support: WCF Test Application.zip. For additional details regarding testing Govern Web Services

What’s New!

Release 6.0
The two (2) Govern batch processes that are associated with the Invoice Cloud process for Real Property and Personal Property modules have been modified to allow them to identify required InvoiceTypeID’s that match with AR Cycle codes for Real Property (RE) and Personal Property (PP). – Release 1703.06

Prior to release 6.0 of the Govern Web service, manual changes were required to be made during the installation of the Invoice Cloud Web Service:

• Modify the web.config to use the GovernNetConfig.xml file located in the deployment root directory.
• Create (Table: NA_NAMES.WEBPROFILEACCESSRT), with properties set to (smallint, allow NULLS).

The above steps are no longer required, they are automatically created when the Database Verification process is run in the Govern New Administration (GNA).
