To use:

1. Clone this repository, or download as a .zip

2. Enter your Integration Theme details into config.js

   • serverUrl - The URL that hosts your Integration Theme, including any ports.
   • groupAlias - The public alias created for the Group containing the data to display - as configured in DriveWorksConfigUser.xml.
     • This must be specified for each Group you wish to use.
     • This allows you to mask the true Group name publicly, if desired.
     • See Integration Theme Settings for additional guidance.
   • specificationPingInterval - [optional] The interval at which to 'ping' the server automatically
     • This ensures a session is kept alive during inactivity, if desired.
   • Optional:
     • Configure various redirects (login, logout, specification close/cancel).
     • Configure update intervals (Details view).
     • Configure 'Query' function settings and defaults

3. Ensure that the Integration Theme server is running, using any of the available methods (e.g. Personal Web Edition, DriveWorks Live, IIS).

   • For more information, see Selecting the Integration Theme.

4. Host the example locally or on a remote server.

   • Ensure <corsOrigins> in DriveWorksConfigUser.xml permits requests from this location. See Integration Theme Settings for additional guidance.

Troubleshooting:

If encountering any issues, please check the browser's console for error messages (F12).

If you are unable to use the dynamic library loading demonstrated in this example:

1. In all .html files, uncomment "Option A" & replace "YOUR-DRIVEWORKS-LIVE-SERVER-URL.COM" with the URL of your own DriveWorks Live server that is serving DriveWorksLiveIntegrationClient.min.js - including any ports.
   • This should be the URL that hosts the Integration Theme, and serves it's landing page.
   • To check that this URL is correct, attempt to load DriveWorksLiveIntegrationClient.min.js in a browser. It should return a minified code library.
2. Remove the "Option B" <script> tag.

Potential Issues:

• When serving this example for a domain different to your DriveWorks Live server, e.g. api.my-site.com from www.company.com, 'SameSite' cookie warnings may be thrown when the Client SDK attempts to store the current session id in a cookie.
  • This appears as "Error: 401 Unauthorized" in the browser console, even with the correct configuration set.
  • To resolve:
    • Ensure you are running DriveWorks 18.2 or above
    • Ensure HTTPS is enabled in DriveWorks Live's settings
    • Ensure a valid SSL certificate has been configured via DriveWorksConfigUser.xml.
    • Ensure if using an incognito/private window, third-party cookies are not blocked (see browser settings).
    • See Integration Theme Settings for additional guidance.
