Step 4: Creating or Maintaining Web Services

CTM uses web services to move data to the production tables. If the CTM consumer you are creating involves transactions to be performed online, you can allow the self-service users to Save the transaction so that they can come back later to Submit when ready. If you choose to do so, you will need to create web services for the following actions:

• One service for the Save action.

• One service to retrieve a specific saved transaction.

• One service to retrieve multiple saved transactions.

• One service for the Submit action.

Use PeopleTools Integration Broker to create the web services.

Delivered with your system are the following AAWS web service operations constructed for the delivered CTM admission transaction. You can use them as samples to create your own web services.

Service	Service Operation	Operation Type	Messages	Action
SAD_ADMISSIONS	SAD_CREATEAPPL	Synchronous	SAD_CREATEAPPL_REQ SAD_CREATEAPPL_RESP SAD_FAULT_RESP	Creates the application.
SAD_ADMISSIONS	SAD_GETAPPL	Synchronous	SAD_GETAPPL_REQ SAD_GETAPPL_RESP SAD_FAULT_RESP	Retrieves one specific application.
SAD_ADMISSIONS	SAD_GETAPPLS	Synchronous	SAD_GETAPPLS_REQ SAD_GETAPPLS_RESP SAD_FAULT_RESP	Retrieves all applications for a defined individual.
SAD_ADMISSIONS	SAD_GETATTACH	Synchronous	SAD_GETATTACH_REQ SAD_GETATTACH_RESP SAD_FAULT_RESP	Retrieves attachments.
SAD_ADMISSIONS	SAD_SAVEAPPL	Synchronous	SAD_SAVEAPPL_REQ SAD_SAVEAPPL_RESP SAD_FAULT_RESP	Saves an application.
SAD_ADMISSIONS	SAD_SUBMITAPPL	Synchronous	SAD_SUBMITAPPL_REQ SAD_SUBMITAPPL_RESP SAD_FAULT_RESP	Submits an application.

Creation or update considerations for CTM:

• Service operations should be synchronous so request and response messages should be created.

• The Entity Registry component provides a utility called Generate XSD that creates a schema that can be used to create web service messages (through Integration Broker). Use it to update or create the schema for either the delivered messages or the messages you create.
