Relationship Resolution Information Center, Version 4.2
Web services software requirements
To use IBM® Relationship Resolution Web services requires that
certain software be installed and operational.
Before using IBM Relationship Resolution Web services, make sure
that the following software is installed and operational:
IBM Relationship Resolution Web services must be installed and running.
The WebSphere® Application
Server where the IBM Relationship Resolution Web services are deployed must
be running. In most cases, this is the same application server that the Configuration
Console and the Visualizer are installed on.
A Web services pipeline must be started and listening on the appropriate
HTTP URL. The application server attempts to send UMF data to this Web services
pipeline over the specified HTTP URL, whenever a SOAP request is received.
Note: The
HTTP URL used for communication between the application server and the pipeline
is not the same as the URL used by Web service clients attempting to
send SOAP requests. Sending SOAP requests directly to the Web services pipeline
HTTP URL will result in an error.
The webservices.properties file must be configured with the HTTP URL of
the running pipeline, so that the WebSphere Application Server knows where
to find the pipeline that will handle the Web service requests. This file
is usually located in the following directory: product_home/srd-home/easws
A SOAP and WSDL-compatible Web services client, used to invoke IBM Relationship
Resolution Web services must exist. A sample client, wsutil.jar, is installed
with IBM Relationship Resolution Web services for testing purposes.
