Overview

What is a data service?

A data service is:
  • a standard Web service that interacts with TIBCO EBX®.
    SOAP data services can be dynamically generated based on data models from the 'Data Services' area.
  • a REST service that allows interrogating the EBX® repository.
    The built-in RESTful service does not require a service interface, it is self-descriptive through the returned metadata.
They can be used to access some of the features available through the user interface.

Lineage is used to establish user permission profiles for non-human users, namely data services. When accessing data using WSDL interfaces, data services use the permission profiles established through lineage.
