Configure the calls to the external services for custom logic and validation of business entity data.
To configure external calls, perform the following tasks:
Use the XML Schema Definition (XSD) to get the request and response types for external calls. Use the request and response types as the input and output elements for an external web service operation. Refer to the
bes-external-call.xsd
file in the
mdm-spi.jar
file.
Develop and deploy the external web service.
Upload the WSDL file for the web service.
Register the SOAP service.
Configure an external call and bind the WSDL, the SOAP service, and the SOAP operation. Publish your configuration to the MDM Hub.
For more information about WSDL files and SOAP calls to the web service, see the Integrating Data as a Service chapter.
For more information about the steps in the business entity services for which you can use external web services, see the
