Using FlexNet Operations SOAP Web Services
Any client application calling the FlexNet Operations Web Services needs the following:
| • | A Web Service client implementation containing stubs/proxies generated from the service interfaces |
| • | An environment in which to develop and run clients to Web Services |
| • | FlexNet user credentials (user ID and password) that have been assigned one or more roles with sufficient permissions to perform requested operations (See User for Executing SOAP Web Services.) |
| • | A client program that you write to connect to the service that knows |
| • | The URL to connect to the service |
| • | FlexNet user name and password |
| • | The semantics of the service methods |
| • | The purpose of the each method |
| • | The return values expected from the methods |
By appending ?wsdl to the end of the Web Service URL, you obtain an automatically generated WSDL document that describes the Web Service:
where <serviceName> is one of the base version Web Service names listed in
