this week I've been asked by several partiers whether PTV offers a solution for the following requirement. Try to get the specific story first - then put it on a generic level.
Summarzied Story:
Let's look at the following slide:We calculate information such as routes with PTV APIs. The output is then displayed in our application. As a nice extension I would like to share the result with some other players in a read only mode (can't change the route itself) but with a level of interaction (user can view the route in a map and zoom in/out and so on. What we would like to have is a sharing mechanism where we send a URL to the recipient that he can immediately access the desired content.
- On the left side we see the leading application that is used by the admin who "creates" content by using our PTV xServer (or to be more precise: PTV xServer Internet).
- The content is consumed and some of the data is stored in the clients database (not at PTV!)
- Based on some primary key elements of "the content" the URL is created and shared with the read only user
- He connects to a second (web) application which has access to the client database
- The second application uses the "primary key" to identify the relevant content in the client database...
- and then produces the user interface which displays the content in read only mode.
Best regards,
Bernd
