AX Linking Utility

AX Linking Utility will allow you to integrate or "image-enable" your ApplicationXtender interface with just about any other program out there. With no programming and a few mouse clicks, you can easily have your users accessing documents stored in your AX repository. Within a matter of minutes, you can make an integration between AX and another application that will make most users forget they are using two seperate products.

Don't be limited by using one index field integrations, only having one method to integrate with, or needing to find a programmer when you want to integrate your AX system with another product. With our AX Linking Utility, not only can you specify one hotkey to perform a range of integrations using one, or several pieces of information, but you can capture information in just about every method you can think of. There are several methods of integration between another program and ApplicationXtender. Both the ApplicationXtender Desktop and the ApplicationXtender Web Access interfaces can be used with this product.

Our AppXtender Linking Utility will allow you to use the following types of links when you integrate ApplicationXtender to another product:

Screen Scrapping
Common with many AS/400 and other "text based" application integrations. If you can copy the contents of the text window to the clipboard, you can use this functionality. Easily define what ApplicationXtender Application to search based on search text within the supplied information, and easily extract any number of search fields based on information contained in this text information.

Form Scrapping
Similar to Screen Scrapping, however, instead of simply passing the text to the windows clipboard, Ax Linking Utility will allow you to setup what ApplicationXtender application to search based on the name of a form. Then, define what fields to search within your ApplicationXtender repository based on textbox values on the form. Works with most Windows applications.

Command Line Linking
Easily have ApplicationXtender display document(s) based on a command line arguments passed to this application.

TCP/IP Linking
If you want finer control on the integration with your 3rd party application, you can have AX Linking Utility receive search commands using a TCP/IP connection. This includes oncall exporting of documents from ApplicationXtender for integration with programs that need the actual file.

Highlight Text and Search
Now in AX Linking Utility, we offer a simple "Highlight and Search" ability.  This will allow you to highlight something, press a hot-key and search using either the AX Desktop or Web Access interface.
