The Simova API

The Simova API is designed to manage functionalities for Simova extensions that operate outside the Business Central (BC) system. This API is divided into different controllers to ensure general operability in the event of individual function failures. If a Simova app is used, the API can be accessed via the URL handler.simova.de. This URL is permanently stored in the Simova CORE app in the Business Central system. The status of the individual API controllers can be viewed at any time via the Simova API status website.

Where the Simova API URL is stored

  1. Go to the Setup module of your installed product.
  2. Click on License.
  3. Click on Setup.
  4. Here you can see the stored handler URL

Enabling the Simova Controller URLs in the firewall

You may be using a firewall that initially does not allow you to communicate with the necessary API URLs. Please guarantee that the following URLs are accessible from your network:

You can store the following wildcard

*.simova.de

or all addresses individually

Using your own API-URL (Document Central with SharePoint OnPremise)

In the case of the Document Central app in combination with the SharePoint repository in the on-premise version, there is a restriction that no online API such as the Simova API listed above can be used. In this case, the old Simova API must be installed locally and operated in your own network. To provide the necessary setup for installing the local API, please contact your Business Central partner or Simova directly. After providing another API URL, the following steps are required to use the API in the Business Central system/Simova CORE.

  1. Go to the Setup module of your installed product
  2. Click on License.
  3. Click on Setup.
  4. Enter the API URL.

Info

The API URL must belong to an instance of API by Simova.
