OWS (OPERA Web Services)
OPERA Web Services (OWS) is a collection of Windows-based Web Services that provides access to OPERA functionality, and also acts as an interface between OPERA and external applications, such as a Web booking engine.
OWS is designed using the Microsoft .NET Framework and is compatible with current versions of the Microsoft Windows® Operating System. OWS-WS uses SOAP/HTTP as a transport protocol to allow for seamless exchange of information between various applications. By focusing solely on SOAP/HTTP, this platform embraces a widely accepted standard for exposing business logic, and in part shields all parties from the low-level complexities of raw XML messaging.
Note: In the event of a database outage, OWS services do not require restarting and will automatically reconnect to the database once the database becomes available. During the period of time when the database is not available, external systems will receive the following message: SYSTEM ERROR. During a database outage, log files will display the following database outage indicator and reconnect: "Unable to establish database connection."
This section contains the following concepts and procedures related to OWS:
