FlexNet Operations 2024 R1 On Premises SOAP Web Services Guide |
FlexNet Operations supports the integration of software license delivery into the business operations of software producers. Much of its functionality is exposed as Web services to facilitate its integration with software producer back office systems.
FlexNet Operations Web services are accessed using a document-style SOAP mechanism from client applications that you write. SOAP is an XML-based protocol that supports information exchange using HTTP and has implementations in many programming languages. Because each Web service is a document-style SOAP service, its parameters are sent in a specific XML format. This format is defined in a service-specific XML Schema document and a WSDL file. A language-specific client implementation (for example, C, C++, Java, Visual Studio .NET, Perl) of each interface can be generated from its WSDL file.
A WSDL file defines the interface to each web service. The custom data types and XML Schema elements specific to each interface are defined in one or more companion XML Schema documents.
The following batch-size maximum limits apply for requests issued from SOAP web services:
All read services have a maximum batch size of 2000.
All services that result in a write have a batch size maximum of 25 records.
Specifying a batch size higher than the new cap results in an error.
FlexNet Operations Web Services use a separate versioning system from the overall FlexNet Operations product. To provide producers with greater flexibility when managing their own Web Service client code, new Web Service versions are created as new features are added to existing services. For more information about web service versioning, see the FlexNet Operations Web Service Integration Guide.
