Generating a WSDL for operations on data

To generate a WSDL for accessing data, select 'Data' in the navigation panel in the Data Services area, then follow through the steps of the wizard:
  1. Choose whether the WSDL will be for operations at the dataset level or at the table level.
  2. Identify the dataspace and dataset on which the operations will be run
  3. Select the tables on which the operations are authorized, as well as the operations permitted.
  4. Download the generated WSDL file by clicking the button Download WSDL.

Operations on datasets

The following operations can be performed using the WSDL generated for operations at the dataset level:
  • Select dataset content for a dataspace or snapshot.
  • Get dataset changes between dataspaces or snapshots
  • Replication unit refresh

Operations on tables

  • Insert record(s)
  • Select record(s)
  • Update record(s)
  • Delete record(s)
  • Count record(s)
  • Get changes between dataspace or snapshot
  • Get credentials
  • Run multiple operations on tables in the dataset

Generating a WSDL for lineage

To generate a WSDL for lineage, select 'Lineage' from the Data Services area. It will be based on authorized profiles that have been defined by an administrator in the 'Lineage' section of the Administration area.
The operations available for accessing tables are the same as for WSDL for operations on data.
Steps for generating the WSDL for lineage are as follows:
  1. Select the profile whose permissions will be used. The selected user or role must be authorized for use with lineage by an administrator.
  2. Identify the dataspace and dataset on which the operations will be run
  3. Select the tables on which the operations are authorized, as well as the operations permitted.
