SOAP and REST Web Services Features & Enhancements in 2022.02
The following features and enhancements were added to the Web Services module in the 2022.02 release.
New APIs for Electronic Software Delivery
A new SOAP Web Service, the ESDService, is now available to customers who have purchased the Software Delivery module. These APIs provide customers with access to Download Package information for file delivery, so that they can build their own customer portals.
To take advantage of the ESDService, producers must update their Web Service client code to reference the following WSDL and endpoint URL:
| • | WSDL: https://<siteID>-esd.flexnetoperations.com/esd-service/svc/wsdl/ESDService.wsdl |
| • | Endpoint: https://<siteID>-esd.flexnetoperations.com/esd-service/svc |
where <siteID> is your organization’s site ID which is supplied by Revenera.
The Web Service is described in the FlexNet Operations SOAP Web Services Guide, which details the specific API calls, provides information about the calls used in a simple workflow, and describes the authentication process.
Note:These APIs are provided for building customer portals. They should not be called from high-load scripted environments or anywhere a rapid call loop is used.
Data Access APIs for Deployments in the AWS in EMEA
Currently, Data Access REST APIs are available for FlexNet Operations deployments in the Data Center. These APIs provide access to data in the FlexNet Operations Data Warehouse—which includes information about accounts, users, entitlements, fulfillments, devices, and served devices. The APIs are typically used to provide the data for billing and other analysis purposes and for building reports through various analytics tools.
Starting in this release, the Data Access APIs will also be available to FlexNet Operations deployments in AWS (Amazon Web Services) in EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Asia). Refer to the FlexNet Operations Web Services Integration Guide for more information about how to use these APIs.
