Define the HxGN EAM web services available for use on the user-defined screen representing the selected web service prompt.

  1. Select Administration > Web Service Prompt Engine > Web Service Prompts.

  2. Select the web service prompt for which to define web services, and then click the Web Services tab.

  3. Click Add Web Service.

  4. Specify this information:

    Screen - Specify the screen for which to define web services details.

    Tab - Specify the tab to be specified for the selected screen.

    • Tab should be left blank if the web service is to be based on the Record View of the selected Screen.

    • If the Comments Tab is selected, the system replaces the selected Screen with BSCOMM and clears the Tab value because the insert, update, and delete Comment web services do not actually reside on the Comments tab. These web services exist on the Comments pop-up (BSCOMM), a screen within HxGN EAM. Because Comments are generic and can apply to many screens, the Entity and Record for which the Comments are related need to be entered when inserting, updating, or deleting Comments using the Web Service Prompt Engine. The system administrator can make the Entity field ‘fixed’ via Field Type and supply the correct Entity value so that it is not necessary to enter it with each Comment record. In addition, the Entity field can be ‘protected’ via Display Type so that users can only enter Comments for the appropriate Entity.

      Action Code - Select the action code for the selected screen, such as insert, update, delete.

      Process Group - Specify the process group for the selected screen. Fields related to the lowest process group will be displayed first on the Web Service Prompt Engine, and so on. The default value for this field is based on the INCRLINO installation parameter.

      Web Service - Specify the web service for the selected screen.

    • The system defaults the Web Service if only one Web Service exists for the Screen, Tab, and Action Code.

    • If you enter the Web Service without entering Screen, Tab, and Action Code, the system populates Screen, Tab, and Action Code when the Web Service is selected.

  5. Click Submit. The system automatically creates a field record on the Fields tab for each controlling organization in the selected web service. Controlling Org. will be selected for these records.

In determining the sequence for Controlling Org. for each process group/web service, the system multiplies the value in the WSPFSEQ parameter by the web service process group. This new parameter will be used as a multiplier to ensure adequate field sequence separation between web services defined for the prompt allowing users to add the remaining prompt fields as necessary. The default value for this parameter is 100.
