Forney VaultForneyVault
MetaField integrates with Forney break machines by utilizing the Forney Vault ForneyVault database and API's. Customers wishing to leverage the integrations to load break data from Forney break machines directly to MetaField will need to first subscribe to the Forney Vault ForneyVault service.
The Forney Vault ForneyVault API is able to receive specimen data from MetaField and store break data to the specimen record, which MetaField can retrieve through the Forney Vault API.
Forney data can be retrieved in one of two ways. The first is a scheduled tasks that runs every 15 30 minutes to check for new data in Forney VaultForneyVault, specimens that are fully populated by the automated task will be advanced to the To Review queueQueue. The second method is a manual call made to the Forney API that is initiated through the Enter Test Results screen. These methods of data retrieval will only be enabled for customers with a Forney integration configured.
Posting Data to Forney
Prior to retrieving data from Forney specimens must be sent to Forney via a manual call. Updates to samples which have been created in Forney will be automatically observed by the integration and updated in ForneyVault. The automated tasks checks for samples that have been updated every 30 minutes.
Specimen post calls can be initiated through the "Export to Forney" button. When initiated, all checked records will be sent to Forney through an API call, once successfully transmitted the Exported flag will be changed to "Yes". Once exported a unique key, created by MetaField, will have been sent to Forney and stored in the MetaField database. This field will not be exposed but will serve as the link for record in ForneyVault and MetaField.

Cylinders
The "Retrieve Forney Data" button has been added to the Cast Cylinders/Grout Cylinders/Mortar Cylinders>Enter Test Results screen. When the call to Forney is initiated, MetaField will attempt to retrieve break data from Forney for each specimen that appears on the screen. MetaField will populate all data that is present either in the Forney Vault ForneyVault database or through predefined default values in the Administration area.
