Installing the CallAPI for Windows

This document guides you through the new installation of a CallAPI for Windows.

A CallAPI for Windows is supplied with AE. This interface can be used under Windows on Intel computers. The CallAPI enables calls in AE from other programs or procedures. These programs can be written in programming languages such as C, C++, COBOL, Java, Visual Basic, VBA, or VBS. Additionally, the utility UCXBXXXC.EXE is supplied, which can be used for calls from the command line, in an MS DOS box or in a batch file.

Supplied Files

The files are stored in the directory IMAGE:CALLAPI\WINDOWS.

Procedure

	1.	Installing the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package

This installation step can be ignored if the package is already available in the required version. Go to Control Panel -> Add or Remove Programs to see if the package is available, and if so, which version.

Install the package from the IMAGE:CRTS directory.

	2.	Transferring the files and setting up the system environment

Copy the files to a separate directory (C:\AUTOMIC\CALLAPI\WINDOWS).
If required, adjust the INI file UCXBXXXC.INI.

You can keep your existing INI file even if there is a new Automation Engine version. It might be required to adjust it. More detailed information is provided in the Release Notes, a collection of which is available in the chapter Release Notes.

	3.	Using OLE

Install the library UCXBWI3C.DLL using the program REGSVR32. This program is available in the Windows system directory by default. The following is an example for the command line:

c:\windows\system\regsvr32 c:\AUTOMIC\callapi\bin\ucxbwi3c.dll
