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.

     Use it, for example, for a service that exists only to log in to a remote server. It will then be available for use in 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.)
