The SICS Configuration Manager module enables the user to compare various SICS system settings / base data between two SICS databases (schemas). The differences (delta) are visually presented. From the delta (all of it, or a selected subset), it is possible to generate a batch of SQL statements that will transfer settings from the source schema to the target schema. The SQL statements can be copied to clipboard or applied directly to the target schema. ...
This document describes how to setup SICS in order to be able to process eMessages both in SICS Workstation and eventually in SICS API Server. For an easy understanding, all the configuration process is explained following a step-by-step approach.
Welcome to this SICS version! # This document describes the steps that must be followed in order to install SICS in your environment. On a high level, the installation procedure involves three main activities: SICS Software Installation This involves installing the SICS software (including documentation and various other system files), and Business Objects Reporting Universes after downloading from the SICS software delivery site. The installation of the SICS reporting tool (Business Objects) itself, is covered in a different document. ...
Integration between ’external’ applications and SICS can be carried outat the functional level through SICS API Server and various batch interfaces (MTK, General Interface, etc). Integration can also be carried out at a User Interface (GUI) level through SICS Live Desktop. When SICS Live Desktop is enabled, external applications may use Web Service technology to “call into” a SICS Workstation in order to open specific screens (Business, Claim, eMessaging, etc.). This can facilitate a tighter integration between SICS and workflow or other supporting, client-specific, applications. ...
The Database Schema Browser (DSB) is a tool can be used to check that the database structure (schema) matches the requirements of the SICS runtime image being used. It is also possible to compare two database structures against one another.
The Assure Reinsurance Desktop Launcher is a set of components which can be used for distributing the Assure Re Desktop App from a central location, to a ’local’ folder on the users desktops. Below are the components: Environment Server component (API to manage environments) Environment Admin Web UX (Web user-interface to manage environments) Desktop launching components (Desktop UI to launch the Assure Reinsurance Desktop App) The benefits are: Cloud compatible - the runtime can be stored in any file hosting service in the cloud eco-system (S3, Sharepoint, etc). ...
The SICS Java Launcher is a standalone Java application which can be used for distributing a centrally installed version of DXC SICS to a ’local’ folder. The benefits are: Users do not hold file locks on the central installation. Therefore, it will be possible to replace the central installation with a newer version of SICS. Depending on network configuration, it may be faster to start SICS from the ’local’ folder, once the SICS runtime has been copied to this folder. ...
This document describes how you may change the memory settings of SICS. For most installations of SICS the standard settings are appropriate. Although the memory settings are carefully tailored to suite the memory usage of SICS, you may need to change them to fit a given SICS installation. Conditions that affect memory usage are data volumes, system settings and the functions and modules of SICS in use.
