Configuring Canadian Support for the Cloud HyperExtender Plugin

Applies to: Transact 2020.1.02, 2020.1.03

This document describes how to enable the Canada region in the Cloud HyperExtender plugin for Transact 2020.1.02 and 2020.1.03. Canada is available by default in 2020.1.04 and above and does not require additional configuration.

The below sections detail configurations in two different files. You will need to update entries in both the applications.properties and plugin.properties files. Refer to the steps below.

[Ephesoft_Directory]\JavaAppServer\webapps\ephesoft-cloud-client\WEB-INF\classes\

  1. Once you’ve opened the file, scroll down to ## Country URL configurations.

After restarting the instance, go to the Cloud Connection Details page within Transact. Before you added Canada, the following screen would display:
