Setting Up Siebel PRM Web Services

If you want to use the Partner Program, Partner Registration, Partner Alert, or Partner Locator Web services, you must set them up as described in this topic.

Note: Other Web services are used by the Siebel PRM ASIs, and information on setting them up is provided in Chapter 4, "Setting Up Application Services Interfaces for Siebel PRM."

To set up the Siebel PRM Web services  

1. Activate the Web service:

   1. Navigate to the Administration – Web Services screen, then the Inbound Web Services view.

   2. In the Name field, query for the desired Web service.

   3. In the Status field, select Active.

2. Set up a service port for a Web service business process

   1. Add one or more new records to the Service Ports list below the Inbound Web Services list.

   2. Complete the necessary fields. Some fields are described in the following table.

      Field	Description
      Name	Enter a name for the port, preferably one that provides information about the purpose of the service
      Type	Select a PRM workflow processes or business services. After you have made this selection, this field displays the type you have selected, Workflow Process or Business Service.
      Business Service/Business Process	After you have made a selection in the Type field, this field displays the name of the workflow process or business service you selected.
      Transport	Select a transport method (for example, HTTP).
      Address	Enter the address of your Siebel server.
      Binding	Select a binding (for example, SOAP).

      
      

   3. In the Operations list, add a new record and select a method for the Web service.

3. Create a Web Services Description Language (WSDL) file to be used by the developer working on the partner application:

   1. Scroll up to the Inbound Web Services list at the top of the page.

   2. Select the Web service.

   3. Click Generate WSDL.

      This step creates the Web Service Description Language (WSDL) file that describes the Web service, including what actions of functions the service performs based on the messages it receives or sends. WSDL is a standard is being defined by the World Wide Web Consortium; PRM uses version 1.1 of WSDL.
