Installation
The following is a technical guide for System Administrators on how to install FusionLink in your environment
In order to control access to FusionLink a new user permission has been added which will enable / disable the Toolkit from starting up. To add the permission to your FusionInvest installation, please run the following.
INSERT INTO USER_RIGHT_TABLE (NAME, CATEGORY, RIGHT_TYPE, RIGHT, IDX, COMMENTS) VALUES ('FusionLink', 'SDK Rights', 2, -1, (SELECT MAX(IDX)+1 FROM USER_RIGHT_TABLE), 'Access FusionLink');
The SQL above will add a new permission to FusionInvest which will allow you to grant access to FusionLink on a group or user basis. Under "SDK Rights", the permission "FusionLink" needs to be set to "Yes"
After enabling FusionLink for a user or group, that user will need to restart their client in order to load the Toolkit.
Either download the latest release from https://github.com/RXDSolutions/FusionLink/releases or build the source code. Please refer to the Readme.md in the root of the repo for instructions on how to build the project.
- Add all the output files to your Toolkit distribution directory.
- Add FusionLink to the AssemblyDLLs section of your config file.
Within the Custom Parameters section of the Risk.Config file the following configuration options are available
- DefaultMessage = Allows you to customise the message initially returned to Excel when subscribing to data
- XllLocation = The location of the xll Excel Addin for use by the "Open FusionLink in Excel" scenario which can be added to the FusionInvest ribbon.

The Excel client is a Xll addin which needs to be opened or registered in Excel.
