Configuring Web Services

Web services are used to direct the inbound and outbound messages to and from:

• The third-party credit checking application.
• A demonstration script that can be used to test your integration setup.
• Middleware or integration server that will integrate with your fulfilment engine.

You must make sure that the Web services are correctly configured.

To configure the Web services

1. Navigate to the Web Services Administration screen.
2. From the Show drop-down list, select Outbound Web Services.
3. Select the row with External Credit Check in the Name field.
4. Verify that the fields in the Outbound Web Services list match those in the following table.

   Namespace	Name	Status
   http://siebel.com/asi/	External Credit Check	Active

5. In the Service Ports list, click New, and enter the following values in the fields of the new record.

   Field	Comments
   Name	Enter a name for the port.
   Port Type	Enter External Credit Check.
   Transport	Select from the drop-down list. If you want to set up testing, for example when you are customizing applets or extending the ASI, select Local Business Service.
   Address	When you select a transport, the field will be populated with a template address. Edit the address based on where you are sending the data. If you want to set up testing, enter Credit Check ASI Test.
   Binding	If a SOAP header is expected by the receiving application, select SOAP_RPC. If you are using Credit Check ASI Test, select Property Set.
