Web Service Endpoint

Web Services allow third-party systems to integrate with STEP data. A Web Service Endpoint is a setup entity that can be used to parameterize STEP web services built to receive request data and transmit response data. For more information on the Matching and Merging Web Service Endpoint, see the Match and Merge Web Service Endpoint section of the Configuring Match and Merge topic in the Matching, Linking, and Merging documentation here.

Prerequisites

Before configuring and using a Web Service Endpoint, users must create an entity-object type and associate it with a desired parent node. This requires the appropriate permissions to create system objects. For more information, see the Creating an Object Type topic in the System Setup / Super User Guide documentation here.

Once the entity object is created, create a Web Service Endpoint in the valid parent node by right-clicking on the node and selecting 'New Web Service Endpoint.'

The Create Web Service Endpoint dialog requests an ID, name, and the web service type.

An empty web service is displayed.
