Using SOAP Web Services

FlexNet Operations SOAP 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 the FlexNet Operations SOAP Web Services Guide. The files containing these interface definitions are located at https://<siteID>.flexnetoperations.com/flexnet/services, where <siteID> is the site ID for your organization, supplied by Revenera. This is usually your organization's DNS name, but can also be the tenant ID that was assigned to your organization when FlexNet Operations was first implemented, and would have the format flexNNNN.
