Common:Web Service Configuration

1. In the Web Service Configuration form, configure the connection:
   • Basic Parameters:

   • Title - Required. Give the service a name. (Displays in the Name column of the Services list.)
   • Operation

     Required for a SOAP service. Not present for REST.

     Choose one of the operations defined in the WSDL file.

   • Version - Required. Enter text to identify the service version
   • Pipeline Service

     Check this box for a service that provides values for use in other web services.

     Outputs from it that are made available for mapping can be used as inputs to other web services.

     Use it, for example, for a service that exists only to log in to a remote server.

     The cookie value or other access key provided by that process can then be used in subsequent requests, as part of a "two-step service chain", which will be described momentarily.

   • Service Parameters:

   • URL - Optional. Use this field to point to a destination other than one defined in the WSDL file
   • Use Basic Auth - Check this box when the destination URL requires a username and password to be included in the standard http header.

   • Username - Optional. Username required to use the service, when needed
   • Password - Optional. Password required to use the service, when needed

   • Use a Pipeline Service - Check this box when the service request requires a prior login.

     Select a pipeline Web Service defined earlier for use in a two-step service chain.

   • TTL - Optional. The "Time to Live", in milliseconds.

     (The amount of time the platform will wait before abandoning a request.)
