Defining Web Service Endpoints

A web service endpoint is a URL where files or services can be accessed by client applications. In Design Studio, you define web service endpoints to specify the web service IP address (or the fully qualified domain name) and port where your products are located. This information is required to import products.

To define the endpoints of web services for importing products:

From the Window menu, select Preferences, then select Oracle Design Studio, and then select Product Import Endpoints.

The Product Import Endpoints preference page appears.
In the Endpoints table, select New.
In the Name field, enter a descriptive name.
In the Endpoint field, enter the web service IP address (or the fully qualified domain name) and port where the product is located.
Select the Secure Web Service check box to require a user name and password for access.

See "Clearing Web Service Security Credentials" for more information.
Create additional endpoints for each web service that is to be called by the Product Import wizard.

Typically, one or two endpoints are defined.
Click Apply.
Click OK.

After you define the web service endpoints, you use them in the Import wizard when selecting which endpoint to use to import products.
