Configuring the System Level Integration

The Vocera Environmental Services Integration uses an XML file to define parameters and defaults for the system-level integration. You can optionally override these defaults with the configuration file provided for each vendor-specific integration (for example, the Epic EVS integration).

The system-level configuration file, evs.xml, is located in the \vocera\evs\resources directory on the Vocera Environmental Services Integration server.

The content of evs.xml is structured XML with begin tags (for example <retry>) and end tags (for example </retry>). You enter values between the tags to configure the integration parameters.

The evs.xml file contains the following main sections:

Section Description
voice Provides system-level defaults for message send and delete retries, and also extends the vendor-specific email integration with additional voice integration capabilities.
plugin Configures the web services retry attempts for cleaning request updates that Vocera sends to the Environmental Services vendor.
