About integrating with a web-based system

To integrate with a web-based maintenance management system, you first need to determine how to display the Meridian Explorer web page from system’s user interface. Several options are available:

Depending on the technique that you choose to show the Meridian Explorer home page, you know where in the maintenance management system’s user interface the URL needs to be generated. Arguments must be retrieved from the user’s maintenance management system session and combined with the Meridian Explorer base URL to form a complete URL. A complete URL has the following components:

<BaseURL>?<Argument1>=<Value1>&<Argument2>=<Value2>...

Where:

<BaseURL> is the URL to the home.aspx page of Meridian Explorer.

Each <Argument> is the name of an argument to be passed to Meridian Explorer. Arguments can have any name; the only requirement is that they match the argument names in the filters configured in Creating and editing object filters.

It is convenient to keep the argument names short, yet descriptive, for example eqnum for equipment number.

Each <Value> is the value for its associated argument. This data must be retrieved from the user’s session in the maintenance management system.

For example:

http://<ServerName>/ExplorerClient/Home.aspx?VIEWID=DOC_E91E5&DOCFILTER=docfab&eqnum=11430&locnr=L11

How you retrieve the argument values depends entirely on the capabilities of the maintenance management system. The following topics describe some, but not all possibilities.
