This web service will expose a POST method that Kuali Build applications can call to transmit completed KB documents into OnBase, UH's document imaging system.

Business Process Flow

Business Process Steps

Kuali Build

When a document that OnBase cares about is completed, the last step in the workflow will be an integration to this web service.

KB to OB Web Service

Exposed API

  • exportPdf()
    • KB will post the unique document ID to the service for a callback

Internal Methods

  • getPDF()
    • callback to KB using the document ID to export the PDF from KB
  • generateIndexFile()
    • index file specifications
      • keywords+ | OnBase document type | PDF filename
      • additional notes

        • each index file will have the naming convention kuali-build-index-yyyymmddmmss.txt

        • each filename will have a distinct naming convention kuali-build-doc-yyyymmddmmss.pdf

        • This will allow all the pairings (of index and PDF) to get saved in the same directory

          • On the OnBase side, they'd search for something like kuali-build-index*.txt

        • Our service will create 1 entry per index file even though OnBase supports multiple records per index file.
      • sample index file
        • UH# | LASTNAME | FIRSTNAME | MIDDLEINITIAL | SERVICEYEARS | SHIPNAME | DOCUMENTTYPE | FILENAME
  • transfer
    • sftp the PDF and the index file to sftp.hawaii.edu

SFTP Server

This is a temporary holding spot where the PDFs and index files live until OnBase can stage them on it's DIP server.

sftp.test.hawaii.edu (access dev, tst, qa below using the kualibld departmental account located in LastPass) and sftp.hawaii.edu (account and folders not created yet)

for Dev:
    cd /dev/kualibld/
for Tst:
    cd /tst/kualibld/
for QA:
    cd /qa/kualibld/

OnBase

OnBase will periodically pull files from the sftp server, stage them on a DIP server, and then ingest the PDF into OnBase.
