FLEXNET OPERATIONS 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 files containing these interface definitions are located in the FlexNet Operations installation.
