Oracle Argus Safety Web Service Interface

The Oracle Argus Safety Web Service Interface supports outbound Interfaces (MedDRA, WHO Drug and LOT Number) which provide the capability to integrate with customer-hosted web services and inbound web services (the Product-Study-License Interface) hosted on the Oracle Argus Safety Web Server.

All web service-based interfaces communicate with the standard SOAP 1.2 Protocol and use WS-Addressing and WS-Security. The Oracle Argus Safety web service interface leverages Windows Communication Foundation to generate WS-Addressing and WS-Security header information. We recommended testing this message before moving too far into business testing. For more information on these specifications, see the OASIS and W3C websites.

You can edit a standard .config file to select which integrations to enable, which transport protocol to use, and authentication details.

All errors are handled through a SOAP fault. Should an error occur, logical or otherwise, a SOAP fault should be thrown by the host and caught by the client. The client application (web) of Argus displays the details of the SOAP fault to the user when possible. Oracle Argus Safety web services throw SOAP faults when an error occurs.

The Oracle Argus Safety web service interface in this release supports the following integrations through Web Service:

Interface Description

MedDRA (outbound)

MedDRA Drug web service interface provides a mechanism to integrate customer-hosted MedDRA coding systems with Oracle Argus Safety via web services.

WHO Drug (outbound)

WHO Drug web service interface provides a mechanism to integrate customer-hosted WHO coding systems with Oracle Argus Safety via web services.

Lot Query (outbound)

Lot Number web service interface provides a mechanism to integrate customer-hosted central product information systems with Oracle Argus Safety via web services.

Product Study License(PSL) - (inbound)

PSL web service interface provides a mechanism to integrate customer central system to push or query PSL data via web services hosted on the Oracle Argus Safety Web Server.

In a multi-tenant Argus system:

  • Endpoint configuration of central MedDRA and WHO Drug web service is at the global level. Enterprise if configured to use MedDRA and WHO Drug web service interface uses same endpoint to connect.
  • Endpoint configuration of Lot Number Interface is defined at an enterprise level. Enterprise if configured to use Lot Interface uses enterprise specific endpoint configuration.
  • Outbound Interface: Message payload must have an 'EnterpriseShortName'.
  • Inbound Interface: Message payload must have an 'EnterpriseShortName'.
