Installing and configuring UBX Toolkit for the integration
To support response tracking from IBM Engage to HCL Campaign, you must install and configure the UBX Toolkit. The UBX Toolkit installs behind your corporate firewall to securely connect Campaign and its databases to UBX APIs and the IBM Commerce ecosystem.
Before you begin
- You must have administrative access to install and configure the UBX Toolkit files on a local server.
- You must know the UBX API URL that was established for your account. You must enter this value
for
ubx.api.service.urlin the UBX Toolkit config.properties file. IBM Provisioning typically provides this URL as part of the provisioning process. If you do not know the URL, see IBM Provisioning requirements for Campaign, Engage, and UBX.
About this task
From HCL Campaign version 10.0.0.1 onwards, you do not require the UBX toolkit to download events. Use the Campaign built-in feature to register a Campaign endpoint in the UBX user interface and download events. If you syndicate audiences, the UBX Toolkit is still required for the audience publisher and audience subscription pieces.
The UBX Toolkit consists of property files and scripts that you install in your local network environment and modify to satisfy your business requirements.
In the context of this integration, HCL Campaign is the event destination (event consumer endpoint). When you use the UBX Toolkit documentation to complete the following steps, only the instructions for event consumers apply. Instructions for audience endpoints do not apply.
Only the following portions of the UBX Toolkit documentation are relevant to this integration:
- Chapter 1. Overview of the UBX Toolkit.
- Chapter 2. UBX Toolkit installation and configuration.
- Chapter 3. Event destination endpoints.
