Configuring Moab Accounting Manager in Viewpoint

In order to embed Moab Accounting Manager in Viewpoint so that users can use it via the Viewpoint interface, you must define the URL in the ViewpointConfig.groovy file, according to the following instructions.

The Moab Accounting Manager configuration code is commented out by default. If you configure Viewpoint and no longer wish to use it, comment it out again so that it does not fail in Viewpoint.

To configure Moab Accounting Manager in Viewpoint

  1. Open the ViewpointConfig.groovy file, located in the $VIEWPOINT_HOME directory.
  2. Uncomment the mam.url parameter like the one shown in the following example. Modify it according to your Accounting Manager hostname.
  3. mam{
      url="https://<your MAM host>/cgi-bin/mam/"
    }
  4. Save the ViewpointConfig.groovy file.
  5. Open the navigation.xml file, located in the $VIEWPOINT_HOME/<suite>/ directory, and uncomment the following section:
  6. <!-- <menu label="Accounting">
       <link href="mam" label="Accounting Manager" target="thisWindow">
          <permission name="page.accounting.read" />
       </link>
    </menu> -->
  7. Save the navigation.xml file.
  8. On the Viewpoint Role Management page, assign the "Accounting Manager" page permission and any corresponding "Accounting" permissions to the role(s) you wish. For more information, see "About role Management" in the Viewpoint Management and User Guide.

When users navigate to Moab Accounting Manager using the link in Viewpoint's navigation, they are forwarded to the URL provided. Moab Accounting Manager then opens in a new tab (for more information, see "About Accounting Manager" in the Viewpoint Management and User Guide.).

If opening Moab Accounting Manager in Viewpoint fails, check the URL and verify that it is correctly configured.
