Overview

To set up a web service for a BDE business interface:

Ensure the appropriate BDE business interface implementations are available on the LN applications server you want to use for the web-based integration. Check whether the LN server and BDE implementations meet the requirements of the connector.
Configure the connections between the Connector for Web Services and the LN servers
Create the web service for a BDE interface by importing the corresponding WSDL file and deploying this file to the Tomcat web server that runs the Connector for Web Services (a web application called c4ws).

Note: If the Connector for Web Services is running in a multi-tenant cloud environment, this step is not required. In a multi-tenant cloud environment all BDEs on the LN server are available if the user is authorized to use them.

After you performed the previous steps, you have a running web service that is ready to be consumed by a web client application. The development of such a web client application simply consists of standard web services development procedures and is therefore not explained in detail.

For the configuration of the connection with the LN servers, see Configuring Infor LN or Baan application servers.

If no suitable BDE interfaces are available, you can implement a BDE interface on an LN server using the Implementation Generator of Infor LN Studio. For more information about this subject, see the LN Studio documentation.
