Accredo as a COM Server

Accredo is a COM (Component Object Model) object. COM is Microsoft's framework for allowing applications to read, write and manipulate data in other applications without opening the application containing the source data. If the Accredo Data Interchange module is installed, Accredo data can be read, you can write to the Accredo database, and scripts can be run from Accredo within other applications such as Microsoft Access, Microsoft Excel and even other Accredo Systems.

The COM framework allows direct access to the Accredo database without having to develop Data Interchange routines or transfer data using file exchange processes. All Accredo business rules, plus rules included in scripts, will still be applied to ensure data integrity is protected.

Register Accredo as a COM Server

To access Accredo data from other applications via the COM framework, register Accredo as a COM Server on a workstation (if this option was not selected on Client install).

1. Go to Windows Start > Run.
2. In the Open: field, type the path to the Accredo executable file followed by a space then /RegServer, for example:

   C:\Program Files (x86)\AccredoSaturn\AccredoSaturn.exe /RegServer

Note: You can unregister Accredo as a COM object using the switch /UnRegServer.
