URL |
The URL to the Web Service's specification file. For SOAP services, this is a WSDL specification. For REST services, this can be an OpenAPI/Swagger (json or yaml) or a WADL specification. |
Username |
Username for the user through which DTS will connect to the service. Only required for services which require login authentication. |
Password |
Password for the user. |
Token |
The token or application id to be used for accessing the service. Only required for services with token authentication. |
The URL must point directly to the specification file (e.g. "https://my.site/service/openapi.json").
The URL can also be an absolute network path accessible from inside the DTS Docker containers (e.g. "//a_machine/share/service.wsdl") or a local path inside the container that is mapped to a host path (e.g. "/usr/local/wss/producer/openapi.json").
Username and Password authentication is currently supported only as standard Basic Authentication.
While most SOAP services have a WSDL specification attached (most application servers generate it upon deployment), this is not necessarily the case for OpenAPI/Swagger, WADL and REST.
Depending on the service you are looking to consumer, it may be necessary to manually create a specification file for it. We recommend using OpenAPI 3.0 in this case. The OpenAPI documentation can help guide that process.
