Integration via Ryvit

Author: Eric Vasbinder

Support Status: PENDING SECURITY APPROVAL

Integration Method: ODBC direct from Ryvit

Connection Method: Leverages Ryvit as middleware connector to Vista

Delivery Method: Third party cloud connection to Ryvit Cloud

Hosted: Not Directly

Additional Charge: NO

REMINDER: THIS INTEGRATION LEVERAGES ANOTHER TRIMBLE VIEWPOINT SOLUTION - RYVIT. THUS, RYVIT MUST BE INSTALLED AND CONNECTED TO VISTA. RYVIT MAY BE HOSTED EXTERNALLY (PREFERRED), CONNECTED TO VISTA OVER THE TLS DATABASE ENDPOINT (TLS VPN) OR AN IPSEC VPN TUNNEL. IN SOME CIRCUMSTANCES, RYVIT MAY BE HOSTED IN THE VIEWPOINT ENVIRONMENT

Product Use Case:

This solution is a mobile construction management solution, which includes the ability to take progress photos, complete daily reports, take notes, etc.

Similar Products:

This product is similar solutions such as Trimble Viewpoint Field Management and Team Project Management

ERP Connection Overview:

This tool connects to the Vista database but, rather than connecting directly, this tool leverages a separate connection to Ryvit's cloud. Thus, as long as a customer has Ryvit 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 Ryvit cloud. Ryvit then connects to Vista using its standard ODBC connector agent, which may reside either externally to Viewpoint's cloud (PREFERRED) (connected over a TLS Database Endpoint (TLS VPN) or IPSEC VPN) or hosted in the Viewpoint cloud directly. If Ryvit is not already installed and configured, please reach out to the Viewpoint cloud support team via a support ticket to begin the process of connecting Ryvit to Vista.

Detailed Instructions:

• 1. Customer and Viewpoint: Validate if Ryvit is installed either in Viewpoint's cloud or in an external location (PREFERRED). If in a customer environment, does it have connectivity to Vista over a TLS Database Endpoint (TLS VPN) or an IPSEC tunnel?

  2. Customer, Partner, and/or Viewpoint: Install and configure Ryvit as needed.

  3. Customer, Ryvit, and Flashtract: Coordinate to enable connectivity through Ryvit's cloud.

tl;dr: This connection is enabled by leveraging Ryvit. Ryvit MUST be connected to Vista in the cloud. Once Ryvit is connected to Vista, the customer may work with Ryvit and Raken directly to set up integration.
