Configuring the Environmental Services Integration |
The Vocera Environmental Services Integration uses an XML file that defines parameters for the required email and web services integrations between the Epic system and the Vocera Environmental Services Integration server. You can also optionally use it to override system-level defaults established in the evs.xml file.
The XML file, pluginproperties.xml, is located in the \vocera\evs\resources\plugin\epic directory on the Vocera Environmental Services Integration server.
The content of pluginproperties.xml is structured XML with begin tags (for example <ServerType>) and end tags (for example </ServerType>). You enter values between the tags to configure the integration parameters.
The pluginproperties.xml file contains the following main sections:
Section | Description |
---|---|
name | Specifies the name of the Environmental Services software vendor you are integrating Vocera software with. |
emailConfig | Specifies the configuration parameters for the email integration between the EVS server and the Epic system. |
voiceOther | Customizes features of an email message that Vocera EVS server sends to a Vocera device upon receipt of an email for anything other than a start shift, end shift, or cleaning request. |
voice | Specifies the message that the Vocera EVS server sends to a Vocera device upon receiving a cleaning request from Epic, as well as related configuration parameters for the message. |
epicRestWebService | Specifies the configuration parameters for the web services integration between the EVS server and the Epic system. |
timestamp | Specifies the date and time pluginproperties.xml was most recently updated. The value in this field is updated automatically by the EVS server when the file is saved. |
