About Web Services
New records can be created and line items added using Integration through Web Services. Also, the Unifier Schedule Manager integrates with Primavera scheduling software by way of Web Services.
Note: Integration through Web Services must be coordinated with an Oracle Primavera representative.
As Project Administrator, you can receive email notification of the successful creation of a shell instance, for shells that are created manually, through Web Services or a CSV file upload, or through auto-creation. This notification can be set up in email notifications in uDesigner. Also, you can set your Preferences to control whether you receive these notifications.
Refer to the Unifier Reference Guide for data elements you can use with Web Services.
Web Services and Internationalization
The output data generated by Web Services is always in the source language.
Note: If a record (Example: Business Process) is created by using Web Services and the Data Definition (DD) label includes a non-ASCII string, then the record creation will fail.
Number formatting of data
When you enter numeric data in XML, you can use the decimal point (period) and negative sign (dash), only.
Examples
XML Tag: <Committed_Amount>100.99</Committed_Amount>
XML Tag: <Credited_Amount>-1423.99</Credited_Amount>
Get Web Services
You can use the Get Web Services call methods to get various attributes of Shell, CBS, and the list of Business Process records, Shells, and User defined data.
When you run a Get call, the input content in the response XML will be in the language of the source strings.
Number formatting does not apply to the numeric data and the decimal point is a period. The negative numbers are displayed with the minus sign before the numeric data, for example, -12345.99.
Note: Number formatting is not supported for Symbols that are based on a right-to-left language such as official languages of Afghanistan or Hebrew.
