http://server:port/schShiftOfferServices/ShiftexCallBackService?wsdl

http://server:port/wfm/schShiftOfferServices/ShiftexCallBackService?wsdl
Note that the server may require an IP address rather than a server name, based on the available connectivity between Vortex and the host. Contact your IT team for details on how this access is done, since VPN details may vary.
