On-Premise Cloud Connector

Purpose

The On-Premise Cloud Connector (OPCC) is a web service designed to bridge the gap between Crossfire and on-premise folders and databases. This service is particularly useful for businesses lacking an accessible interface by removing the developmental effort to create an in-house solution 

Actions:

• Incoming/Outgoing File

  • Push/Pull files from the specified filepath

• Incoming/Outgoing HTTP Requests

  • Push/Pull data via HTTP Requests from on-premise endpoints

• Incoming/Outgoing SQL Requests 

  • Call stored procedures from on-premise databases to fetch/store data.

With these features, the On-Premise Cloud Connector ensures that Crossfire can fully integrate with existing on-premise systems, enabling smooth data flow and communication.

External setup instructions

The OPCC needs to be installed as a new site in IIS. Create a new externally accessable website in IIS pointing to the root folder of the code Crossfire will provide.

Database configuration

If the OPCC needs to connect to the database, the following steps apply

• Create a new database login called svc_xfire

• Create a new database role for the databases that are required called xf_service

• Create a new schema in the databases called XFIRE and assign EXECUTE permission on it to xf_service

The Crossfire team will also need an admin account to create any required tables and stored procedures in the XFIRE schema.
