Business Process Automation

Web Service Operation

This page is accessed via Business Process Automation > Communication Management > Web Services. Then in the Web Service manager, click Edit (edit) next to an operation. The Web Service Operation page opens.

  1. You can edit the Timeout. This is the time limit that processing will occur before stopping the transaction.
  2. Enter a SOAP Action. The SOAP Action is defined by the WSDL being uploaded to OTM and is required to be sent as part of the message.
  3. Select a Payload Style, as required by the service you are calling. The following options are available:
    • Bare: Bare sends the XML message as the only child element of the SOAP Body. If you do not specify a payload style, Bare will be used.
    • Wrapped: Wrapped has a single child element of the SOAP Body which matches the operation name and the XML message is the only child of this 'operation' element.
  4. If this operation is used for integration, select the For Integration check box.

Operations

  1. Enter an Oracle Transportation Management Object Type. This maps an Oracle Transportation Management business object to an operation parameter.
  2. If the parameter is required, select the Required check box.
  3. If the parameter is document-based and will be XML, then select the Document check box.
  4. If you want the parameter sent as an attachment to SOAP messages, select the Attachment check box.
  5. Selecting the Zip check box compresses the data.
  6. If you want a stylesheet associated with the operation, enter an Out XML Profile. This determines what the XML looks like.
  7. In addition, you can enter a Transformer Stylesheet or a Transformer Plugin. Both are used to determine the style. The stylesheet uses XSLT, the transformer plugin uses custom code.
  8. Click Save.
