Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Application Server:
Administration


Enabling a Web service

You can enable a Web service using the Progress Explorer or WSAMAN utility’s enable function. This section describes how to enable a Web service using Progress Explorer. For more information on using the WSAMAN utility to enable a Web service, see Chapter 8 "Using the WSA Management Utility (WSAMAN)" and Appendix B "Command and Utility Reference."

To enable a Web service using the Progress Explorer:

  1. In the WSA folder, select the Web service instance (wsa1), expand it.
  2. Select a Web service, such as OrderInfo under the Web services folder, and right-click it. When a shortcut menu appears, choose Enable, as shown:
  3. You can also choose the Enable button, or choose Action Enable from the menu.

    An information box appears confirming that you have enabled the Web service for client access. If the Web service was previously disabled, this also decrements the number of Web services disabled statistic for the parent WSA instance.

    Note: The WSA must have the Enable Web Services box checked before it accepts client requests for the enabled Web service. To check the Enable Web Service box for a local WSA instance, use Progress Explorer. For a remote WSA instance, set the underlying webAppEnabled property by hand editing the ubroker.properties file. For more information, see Chapter 5, “Working With the Web Services Adapter.”
