Creating SOAP API calls
SOAP web service calls are typically created using Visual Studio.
Perform this procedure using Visual Studio:
Note: The procedure for creating a SOAP web service call assumes that you have added a
reference to your project for the IDO .NET web service, as follows.
You can redirect calls at runtime (for instance, to a
production server rather than a test server) by passing two parameters to the
constructor, for example:
IDOWebServiceReference.DOWebServiceSoapClient idoWS
= new
IDOWebServiceReference.DOWebServiceSoapClient(
"IDOWebServiceSoap",
"http://other_server_name/IDORequestService/IDOWebService.asmx"
);
Note: You can add a query parameter to the .NET web service URL to
specify the configuration group, which applies to the GetConfigurationNames web
service API; for example: http://server
/IDORequestService/IDOWebService.asmx?configgroup=group-name
where group-name corresponds to the name of a configuration group created with the Configuration Manager utility.
When creating your SOAP web service API calls, we recommend that you use the prototypes in this document as examples. All the prototype examples are given in C#.
