Creating or editing an endpoint for a Provide Service activity

Create or edit a Web Service endpoint for a Provide Service activity.

Procedure

  1. In the Create Endpoint or Edit Endpoint pane, select the Integration Appliance Provides Service option and configure the fields as described in the following table.
    Note: Changing the configuration properties of an endpoint affects all orchestrations that use that endpoint in the project. The edits are global, not local.

  2. Port
    Specifies the port number to communicate with the Integration Appliance acting as the Web Service.
    CAUTION:
    This is different than the port name specified in the WSDL.
    Path
    The path string specified in this field is added to the URL of the Integration Appliance to form the location element of the generated WSDL. For example if your Integration Appliance is named: myAR.myCompany.com and the string specified in the Path field is /services/myservice/1.0, the resulting location element in the WSDL file is equal to the following string: http://myAR.myCompany.com/services/myservice/1.0
    Security
    • Select the None option if no security is required.
    • Select the HTTPS option to enable secure Web Service over SSL.  
      • Available for the Integration Appliance Provides Service option only - When server authentication is required, select the Server Certificate Alias Name check box to specify that the Integration Appliance acting as a server should provide a certificate to the client. This certificate is used by the client for authentication and encryption. If this check box is selected, the name of the certificate must be provided. A certificate specified at the activity level with this check box, takes precedence over certificates specified at the Integration Appliance level  using the mgmt ssl CLI command.
      • Available for the Remote Server option only - When client authentication is required, select the Client Certificate Alias Name check box to specify that the Integration Appliance acting as a client should provide a certificate to the HTTP Server. This certificate can be used by the HTTP Server for authentication and encryption. If you select this check box, the name of the certificate must be provided. A certificate specified at the activity level with this check box, takes precedence over certificates specified at the Integration Appliance level  using the mgmt ssl CLI command.
    Note: The certificate you specify must be uploaded to and registered on the Integration Appliance before you deploy the current project. For more information, see the CLI Command reference.
    Connection Pool Options
    The Maximum Connections parameter specifies the maximum number of connections that the Integration Appliance has open in the connection pool. Specifying "0" means the number of connections is unbounded. By default, the Integration Appliance can have 25 connections open.
    Note: For some of the fields in the endpoint, you can define configuration properties to supply the values for these fields. The
    icon displays when you click in a field that supports a configuration property and a configuration property of the same type has already been configured for the project.
