You can generate an iWay Business Service (also known as a web service) for an Oracle E-Business Suite base table. To generate an iWay Business Service, you must deploy the iWay Application Adapter for Oracle E-Business Suite in a business services environment using the iWay Business Services Provider (iBSP). iBSP exposes functionality as web services and serves as a gateway to heterogeneous back-end applications and databases.
A web service is a self-contained, modularized function that can be published and accessed across a network using open standards. It is the implementation of an interface by a component and is an executable entity. For the caller or sender, a web service can be considered a "black box" that may require input and delivers a result. Web services can be integrated within an enterprise as well as across enterprises on any communication technology stack, whether asynchronous or synchronous, in any format.
You can make a web service available to other services within a host server by generating WSDL (Web Services Description Language) from the web service.
Ensure that the servlet iBSP is properly configured. For more information on installing and deploying iWay components, see the iWay Installation and Configuration manual.
To create a web service for the Oracle E-Business Suite base table HR_LOCATIONS_ALL:
Important: Oracle recommends that users do not interact directly with application tables. The use of INSERT, DELETE, or UPDATE to modify data in application tables may jeopardize database referential integrity.
The Create iWay Business Service dialog box opens, as shown in the following image.
A second Create iWay Business Service dialog box opens and prompts you for additional information, as shown in the following image.
The iWay Business Services node expands in the left pane. The new iWay Business Service appears under the Services node.
The following image shows an iWay Business Service called HR_INSERT_WS and, under that service, a method called HR_INSERT_METHOD.
The right pane displays the name of the expanded iWay Business Service and provides a hyperlink to the selected method, for example, HR_INSERT_METHOD.
An iWay Business Service test pane opens in your web browser, as shown in the following image.
The web service test result appears in the right pane.
You have completed the configuration and testing of this service.
