When integrating with external datasystems (e.g. a LIMS or CRM system), we have found that it is frequently the case that customer systems vary in implementation or may feature customisation and it may be the necessary for additional development work to be performed to alter the behaviour of the cloud adaptor service to ensure close integration with Remote Sampler. In this cases like this, it is necessary to set up a functional development environment on the machine that will run the cloud adaptor service so that a member of the Remote Sampler team can perform any required development.
Required Software
To perform development work, several applications are required.
| Application Name | Manufacturer | Description | Download Link |
|---|---|---|---|
| Visual Studio Professional 2015 | Microsoft | An integrated development environment for Microsoft languages. This application is used for editing source code and debugging application operation. | https://www.visualstudio.com/vs/older-downloads/ |
| SourceTree | Atlassian | An application that allows data to be downloaded from and uploaded to a remote GIT sourcecode repository. | https://www.sourcetreeapp.com/ |
Licencing
Note that none of the applications above require the customer to purchase licences. The applications are either free for use (Sourcetree) or where they require licencing (Visual Studio), developers from the Remote Sampler team will log on to the application using their credentials/licence.
Firewall Changes
Several firewall changes will be necessary on the machine that will host the cloud adaptor service. These changes are described below.
Direction of Traffic
Note that unless stated otherwise, all firewall rules refer to outbound traffic.
