The Administration Web Service is declared in
admin.wsdl.
You can access the Administration Web Service at the following URL:
http://localhost:<port>/ws/admin/DataStore?wsdl
where the
localhost and
port are the host and port of the
running Oracle Endeca Server, and
DataStore is the name of the Endeca
data store.
The namespace for the Administration Web Service is similar to the
following example and reflects the version of the service:
http://www.endeca.com/MDEX/admin/1/0
This namespace is included in the WSDL document for the web
service.
In this example, the string
1/0 indicates the version is 1.0, where 1 is the major
version, and 0 is the minor version.
Note: The version in the service that you have installed may not match
this example.
Changes to minor versions are backward-compatible. If any
backward-compatible versions exist, additional namespaces are included in the
WSDL, listing them. You can use any backward-compatible minor version that is
listed. For example, if both 1.0 and 1.1 versions are listed in the WSDL, you
can use either of them.
Changes to major versions are not backward-compatible, thus previous
major versions are not listed in the WSDL namespaces.
Important: After you upgrade the Oracle Endeca Server,
verify the versions of the web services you have been using against the
installed versions, to avoid version mismatch. It is recommended to use the web
service versions that match the ones installed with the Oracle Endeca Server.
In particular:
- If the minor version of
the web service on your client does not match the version installed with the
Oracle Endeca Server, you can still use this version if it is listed in the
WSDL namespaces, although it is recommended to upgrade.
- If the major version of
the web service on your client does not match the version of the web service
installed with the Oracle Endeca Server, you must upgrade to the most recent
major version of the web service (this may include upgrading client code to use
client stubs generated from the most recent versions).
For more information on web service versions, see the
Oracle Endeca Server Developer's Guide.
