IBM® InfoSphere Identity Insight provides a set
of Web services that you can use to build external applications that
can load Universal Message Format (UMF) data for pipeline processing
or search for entities in the entity database. You use the bi-directional
HTTP (hypertext transfer protocol) transport method, which is a standard
feature in the pipeline.
IBM InfoSphere Identity Insight Web services use four SOAP
(Simple Object Access Protocol ) methods: process, search, load, and
score The product supports SOAP version 1.1.
The product includes several components to help you get
started using Web services. You can find these components in the directory
named
webservices in the product installation
directory.
