ERP Connection Overview: 

As per many other server-side integrations to third-party products, this product is designed to talk to Vista's database directly using ODBC.  This connection requires that the Vista server be "visible" to the third-party system.  To ensure that the two systems can communicate, we set up either a TLS Database Endpoint (TLS VPN) or a server-to-server IPSEC VPN between our cloud and the vendor's multi-tenant cloud.

Deployment Methodology:

We do not support hosting of this product in our cloud.  As such, the customer must continue to host the actual program (i.e. "bits") in either their on-premise environment or in another cloud.  As a result, since this product and Vista will be on separate networks, a VPN is needed to bridge the gap between the two networks.  This solution uses a data connector ("shim") between the Vista server and other third-party products.

Detailed Instructions:

• 1. Stand up remote connectivity to our cloud:

     1. (PREFERRED) TLS Database Endpoint (TLS VPN) with the remote, public, static IP of the vendor's cloud added to the pre-approved list for the customer's environment:  TLS Database Endpoint 

        1.  OR

     2. IPSEC VPN between hosting location of third party product and customer's Vista environment in our cloud:  How do I set up an IPSEC VPN to access my Vista database directly?

  2. Create SQL account to allow third-party to authenticate to Vista:  I need a dedicated SQL account for my integration to Vista in your cloud. How do I set that up?

  3. Configure the third-party solution to talk to the IP address of the new Vista server in our cloud.
