Resource Category Lookup

Refer to Inbound REST Web Service for an overview of REST IWS functionality.

Each Inbound REST Web Service is associated with a Resource Category. The categories are defined as an extendable lookup. The REST URL is built using a component from the IWS record's resource category.

Navigate to the Extendable Lookup portal. Search for and select the Resource Category business object. Define values as needed. Typically the category is related to a logical grouping of entities, or maintenance objects, referred to as a 'resource' in REST nomenclature. In some cases, an edge application may have already delivered appropriate resource categories for your use.

Populate the appropriate URI component to include when building the URL for IWS records linked to this resource category.
