ONBASE WEB SERVER
The OnBase® Web Server provides users with immediate access to their information and documents anywhere, anytime via standard Internet Explorer® web browsers. Through a standard or customized intuitive user interface, users can view, print, annotate and distribute any information object stored within the OnBase system. By increasing operational efficiency and user responsiveness, OnBase Web Server dramatically changes the way companies do business with customers, suppliers, and remote offices. The OnBase Web Server enables an enterprise to create automated Customer Service applications that allows customers 24-hour, online access to account information, order status, historical data and product information.
Application
Standard Internet Explorer web browsers function as secure OnBase thin-clients in both Internet and Intranet environments for most Windows®-based client operating systems.
An OnBase ActiveX viewer control provides more advanced OnBase user features over the Internet, including OnBase standard features such as annotations, cross-referencing, custom queries, and server-side full text searching. To minimize network bandwidth consumption, the OnBase ActiveX viewer is intelligently cached on the browser client workstation to eliminate repeated downloading. New control downloads will only occur if deployed by the system administrator.
An HTML-only web client is available to provide a base level web client without the need to deploy ActiveX controls to each client desktop machine.
The OnBase Web Server is an N-tier application that provides true Internet access to existing OnBase document repositories with backward compatibility with existing OnBase document, security, user group, database, and file storage configurations. The OnBase Web Server will co-exist in parallel with OnBase 3.5x configuration and input processing workstations. Multiple OnBase Web Servers can be deployed in parallel server web farms; including inexpensive, web server appliances. The OnBase Web Server requires an underlying Microsoft Internet Information Server® 4.0/5.0 running on Microsoft® Windows NT/2000. All communications are performed using standard Internet network protocols that are compatible with SSL and VPN secure connections.
The OnBase API and XML Core Services exposes both Microsoft COM, .NET Interop, and XML programming interfaces to the core OnBase document management and workflow services.
Microsoft focused developers can create OnBase compatible ASP and ASP.NET websites, C# and VB applications, and COM/DCOM/.NET components. Mixed-shop developers can create loosely coupled Web Services that allow cross-platform, distributed access to subsets of the API object model via SOAP and XML.
Most portal frameworks can be integrated with the OnBase API and XML interface.
An OnBase Software Development Kit (SDK) is available with interface details, sample scripts, and technical documentation.
A full reference set of ASP web pages is provided with the OnBase Web Server for out-of-the-box document management, workflow, user administration, and remote diagnostic functionality through the web browser environment.
