Before you start

Prerequisites for MVrest and the files it creates in your account.

Prerequisites

Before using MVrest, the following needs to be in place:

1. Microsoft .NET Core 3.1 is installed on the server.

2. MVsharp 4.0.8.0 or later is installed.

3. MVrest Administrator 4.0.1 or later is installed.

MVrest files in your account

MVrest stores the configuration information required to deploy the REST Services in the account you are connecting to. This ensures that the configurations can be backed up and restored to new locations.

Each account can have its own set of services that can be deployed using a different port.

The first time you connect to an account to configure Web Services, you will be prompted to "Create Web Services Files". The following files are created in the selected account:

File Name	Description
MvClasses	This file contains all the definitions of the classes configured to support the input and output to and from the REST Services. Each class name must be unique and may be used for multiple methods.
MvRestServices	This file contains the Method definitions and input and output mappings for each REST Service.
