This is an optional feature; it is not part of the baseline system. You cannot access any of the functionality described here without first purchasing this additional package.
After you purchase the Automation Studio license for Eclipse, work with Professional Services to register the license to activate the Eclipse configuration windows. There are a few steps to establish the general connection to Automation Studio, create the settings for how you are using Automation Studio, and determine who is using Automation Studio.
Professional Services will work with you to create your Automation Studio site, environment, and instance. Once this is done Automation Studio will perform a "handshake" with your Eclipse system to populate most of the settings on the API Configurations window for the Epicor Automation Studio pane.
During the registration process, permissions are established for the first user of Automation Studio. The person you have as the Automation Studio administrator and all those given access to Automation Studio need to have the Authorization Key for Admin or SuperAmin on Eclipse to access Automation Studio. In addition, you must be set up on Automation Studio as a user and given appropriate permissions.
