URIRegister

For a better functioning of SE Suite, SoftExpert has developed some applications that are executed in the client workstation in order to increase productivity in operations such as editing and viewing documents. Some of those applications are: DocView, used when editing and viewing Microsoft Word documents, and PDFViewer, used when viewing PDF files.

Since SE Suite is a WEB application, it is necessary for some configurations to exist in the machines of the users to establish a connection between the browser and the executable. Aiming to simplify these configurations, SoftExpert has developed the URIRegister.exe application, whose purpose is to perform all necessary configurations in the client workstation, allowing SE Suite to call all SoftExpert executables (DocView, PDFViewer, or ExcelView). This executable allows calling only applications developed by SoftExpert.

The URIRegister.exe application is developed using the “URI" standard, aiming to add the SoftExpert applications to the Windows register in order for SE Suite to be able to execute those applications.

To dismiss the need to execute URIRegister.exe, the system administrator can manually create the records described below:

Manual configuration to eliminate the need for URIRegister

It is necessary to add the records below to regedit in the machines, in the following way:

1. Create the sesuite-file-net key within Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\;

2. Within the created key, it is necessary to create a new Character string value with the “URL Protocol” name without a value:

The key will be displayed in the following way:

3. Below the sesuite-file-net key, it is necessary to create the shell\open\command keys, as displayed in the previous image. Within the last one, it is necessary to switch the (default) value to the executable path:

For the system to understand that the records have already been manually configured and not to display unnecessary messages to the user, it is necessary to execute the command below in the database:

After executing the command, it is necessary to access the SE Document component, in the Configuration < General parameters menu, and save. Thus, the parameter configured in the database will be loaded onto the system cache.
