ERP Connection Overview: 

This tool connects to the Vista database but, rather than connecting directly, this tool leverages a separate connection to Trimble Viewpoint's DataXchange (Ryvit) cloud.  Thus, as long as a customer has DataXchange installed and connected to Vista, setting up this integration is fairly straightforward. 

Deployment Methodology:

This product consists of a connector via REST APIs to the DataXchange cloud.  DataXchange then connects to Vista using its standard ODBC connector agent, which should reside in the Trimble Viewpoint cloud directly, usually on a customer's "D2" box in their cloud environment.   If DataXchange is not already installed and configured, please reach out to the Viewpoint cloud support team via a support ticket to begin the process of installing and connecting DataXchange (Ryvit) to Vista.

Detailed Instructions:

• 1. Customer and Viewpoint:  Validate if DataXchange is installed in Viewpoint's cloud.

  2. Viewpoint (If Needed):  Install and configure DataXchange (Ryvit) as needed.

  3. Customer, Ryvit, and Vendor:  Coordinate to enable connectivity through the Trimble Viewpoint DataXchange (Ryvit) cloud.

tl;dr:   This connection is enabled by leveraging DataXchange (Ryvit).  Ryvit MUST be connected to Vista in the cloud.  Once Ryvit is connected to Vista, the customer may work with our Trimble Viewpoint DataXchange Team and Kojo directly to set up integration.
