Configuring Web Services for Availability to Promise

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

  • The third-party ATP engine

  • A demonstration script, which can be used to test your integration setup

  • A middleware or integration server that will integrate with your fulfillment engine

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

This task is a step in Process of Setting Up Third-Party Product Availability Applications.

To configure Web services for availability to promise

  1. In your Siebel Business Application, navigate to the Administration - Web Services screen, and then the Outbound Web Services view.

  2. Select the row with External ATP Check in the Name field.

  3. Verify that the fields in the Outbound Web Services list match those in the following table.

    Namespace Name Status

    http://siebel.com/asi/

    External ATP Check

    Active

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

    Field Comments

    Name

    Enter Default.

    Service Display Name

    Enter External ATP Check.

    Transport

    Select from the list.

    If you want to set up testing, for example when you are customizing applets or extending the ASI, then select Local Business Service.

    Address

    When you select a transport, the field is populated with a template address. Edit the address according to whether you are sending the data to middleware or the ATP engine.

    If you want to set up testing, for example when you are customizing applets or extending the ASI, then enter ATP ASI Test. For more information, see Using the ATP ASI Testing Script.

    Binding

    If a SOAP header is expected by the receiving application, then select SOAP_RPC.

    If you are using ATP ASI Test, then select Property Set.
