Configuring and Integrating External Systems with mRounds
Integrating mRounds with external systems is essential for seamless maintenance operations and data flow across an organization. This chapter provides a comprehensive guide to establishing and configuring connections between mRounds and various external systems, such as FTP servers, ODBC databases, SMTP email servers, and SAP ERP systems.
- Establishing a Secure Connection to an FTP Server for Data Export
  An FTP (File Transfer Protocol) server connection allows mRounds to securely transfer large volumes of data to external systems for reporting, backup, or further processing. Establishing this connection enables the export of rounds data and reports to FTP servers without manual intervention, ensuring a smooth and automated process for data storage and sharing.
- Establishing a Connection with ODBC for Database Integration
  The ODBC (Open Database Connectivity) connector allows mRounds to directly interface with external databases. This connection is crucial for exporting rounds data to an organization’s internal databases, enabling further analysis and integration with other systems like reporting tools or custom dashboards.
- Setting Up an SMTP Server for Automated Email Notifications
  Configuring an SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) server allows mRounds to send automated email notifications to stakeholders about task completions, issues, and important updates. This connection ensures timely communication about maintenance operations.
- Establishing a Connection with SAP for Maintenance Data Integration
  The SAP integration allows mRounds to send critical rounds data directly into an SAP system. This connection is essential for synchronizing maintenance data with the organization’s SAP ERP system, enabling automated work order creation and maintenance tracking.
Invoking mRounds Tasks using APIs
Innovapptive exposes certain APIs that can be consued by applications and create tasks like creating operator rounds, dynamically generate round plans, and so on.

Configuring and Integrating External Systems with mRounds
