Also interest here in some rudimentary image management.

Application: Client's A/R collectors are on the phone with a delinquent customer, who "can't find [yeah, sure] that invoice". Collector would like to be able to send PDF file as email attachment or a facs instantly from his desktop software without breaking the phone connection.

Right now I am thinking about just re-creating the invoice image, since the data are available in the ERP system's database. But that is far from cast in stone. (Disk space is NOT a concern).

The following is a sample ASP file they suggest as one method of retrieval. Below that is a brief description of their web service. I see that they mention SOAP 1.1 as the minimum protocol. Wasn't there an example of SOAP access to get a random joke or something. Anything at all would be helpful.

Thanks,

Code:

Appendix B: Sample ASP File
The following code uses Synergy SIM to retrieve a statement from MacroFiche.
<%@ Language=VBScript
%>
<%Option Explicit%>
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<META NAME="GENERATOR" Content="Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0">
<!--METADATA TYPE="typelib" FILE="C:\program files\jha\synweb\synweb.tlb"-->
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<%
Dim WebSession, objFs, szTempFile, szTempPath, lNumberofHits, lNumberofItems
Dim iCounter, szHitID, lHitPage, lFirstPage, lNumberofPages
set WebSession = CreateObject("Synergy.WebSession.1")
set objFs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
WebSession.SignOn "A","A"
If WebSession.SessionId <> 0 Then
Response.Write "<B>Login Successful...</B><BR><BR><BR>"
Else
Response.Write "<B>Login Failed...</B><BR><BR><BR>"
End if
WebSession.Institution = "0000"
WebSession.Date = "19961113"
WebSession.Application = "DDA"
WebSession.Report = "DDA STATEMENTS"
WebSession.OpenQuery swapiRptQuery, swapiListAllMatches
WebSession.AddQueryItem "ACCOUNT NBR", "=", "200001857"
WebSession.DoQuery lNumberOfHits, lNumberOfItems
If lNumberOfHits > 0 Then
Response.Write "<TABLE BORDER=1>"
For iCounter = 0 to lNumberofHits -1
Call NewFile
WebSession.GetHitInfo szHitID, lHitPage, lFirstPage, lNumberofPages
WebSession.GetStatement szHitID, 0, lFirstPage, lNumberofPages, szTempFile
Response.Write "<A HREF=" & Chr(34) & szTempFile & Chr(34) &
">Statement</A><BR><BR>"
Next
Response.Write "</TABLE><BR><BR><BR>"
Else
Response.Write "No Hits Found for Query on 200001857<BR><BR><BR>"
End If
WebSession.CloseQuery
Private Sub NewFile()
szTempPath = request.ServerVariables("PATH_TRANSLATED")
szTempPath = Left(szTempPath, InstrRev(szTempPath,"\"))
& "Pages\"
szTempFile = objFs.GetTempName
szTempFile = szTempPath & left(sztempfile,8) & ".PDF"
End Sub

Info on the Web Service itself for retrieval. We only need to know how to enumerate all the documents, types and date ranges for a customer and allow the institution to select the item(s) they want to retrieve. The documents can come back via any extension Windows supports, jpeb,bmp,pdf,tiff etc. The customer's people will do the scanning and submittal for storage.

Code:

SIM.NET
SIM.NET provides integration with Synergy through a web service. The standard SIM COM
API is used for third party integration either from a thick application or hosted as an ASP
web page. SIM.NET, however, is a Web Service solution to third party SIM integration. It
provides a streamlined subset of the SIM functionality and uses a consistent set of defined
web service standards which provides high reliability in terms of access and interoperability.
The SIM.NET interface includes:
�� User authentication (signing on/signing off of Synergy)
�� Search and retrieval of search results
�� Retrieval of Synergy enumeration types (institutions, dates, applications/cabinets,
reports/types, and indexes)
�� Ability to retrieve documents, checks, and reports, along with their attributes.
SIM.NET is implemented as an ASP.NET web service.
Note
Multiple SIM.NET web servers may be used; however, session data will not be maintained
between web servers. A client using the web service must connect to the same web service
URL for the duration of a session.
Requirements
The SIM.NET web service requires the following:
�� Operating System: Windows 2000 Server SP4 or higher
�� Web Server: Microsoft Internet Information Services 5.0 or higher
�� Microsoft .NET framework version 1.1 or higher
The SIM.NET web service is platform independent. In order to access SIM.NET, the client
will need software tools to consume a web service and send messages using SOAP 1.1 via
HTTP.
