1IntroductionFlexNet Operations supports the integration of software license delivery into the business operations of softwareproducers. Much of the FlexNet Operations functionality is exposed as SOAP-based Web Services to facilitate its integrationwith software producer back office systems. In addition, FlexNet Operations supports REST endpoints for managing entityspecific data extracts.Some FlexNet Operations functionality is exposed for customization via web services. The protocol supported forimplementing an external service depends on the functionality being customized.Table 1-1 FlexNet Operations Web Services and Web Services Integration GuideSectionDescriptionIntroductionIntroduces you to the types of web services supported by FlexNet Operations: SOAP-Based Web Service Operations RESTful Web Services External Web ServicesUsing SOAP Web ServicesProvides information about the SOAP services included in FlexNet Operations, whereto find WSDLs for those services, and how to set up a Web Service client.SOAP Web Services ReferenceLink to complete reference information about FlexNet Operations SOAP-based APIs.REST Web ServicesDescribes the REST services included with FlexNet Operations that producers can useto download data extract snapshots and manage their data extract job output as wellas providing communication with end-user applications.External Web ServicesDescribes how to create external services to customize aspects of FlexNet Operationsbehavior, and how to obtain sample code and other resources to facilitate thesecustomization efforts.Flexnet Operations Web Services Integration GuideFNO-2020R2-WSI00Company Confidential1
Chapter 1 IntroductionSOAP-Based Web Service OperationsSOAP-Based Web Service OperationsA client application can call FlexNet Operations Web Services to import product and entitlement data from a back-officesystem, generate licenses, and manage users and organizations. The chapter on SOAP-based services provides informationabout the SOAP services included in FlexNet Operations, where to find WSDLs for those services, and how to set up a WebService client. It also discusses FlexNet Operations Web Service versions (which differ from the FlexNet Operations productversion) and, for select services, include special usage tips. For more details about integrating your organization’s systems with FlexNet Operations via the SOAP-based WebService operations, see Using SOAP Web Services. For complete reference information about FlexNet Operations SOAP-based APIs, see the FlexNet Operations SOAP WebServices Reference Guide.Tip To see the list of FlexNet Operations SOAP services, open a browser ervices, where producer is your organization’s producer code ortenant ID.Tip The Download Packaging Service is available t/services/v#/DownloadPackagingService, where producer isyour organization’s producer code or tenant ID.RESTful Web ServicesFlexNet Operations supports a number of REST Web Service endpoints that allow producers to extract snapshots ofchanges to fulfillments, devices, served devices, license models, usage activity, and more. These entity-specific extracts aregenerated by jobs that administrators can schedule in the Producer Portal. Then, producer users or applications developedby producers can use the REST endpoints to oversee and manage the data extracts generated by the jobs.See REST Web Services for more information about how to use the data extract endpoints and the function and output ofthe data extract jobs.Tip The data extract jobs do not run by default. Producers can configure one or more of the data extract jobs to run in theProducer Portal (Administer Configure Alerts/Jobs). For more information about managing data extract jobs and otheralerts, see “Administering Alerts” in the FlexNet Operations User Guide.External Web ServicesProducer can extend or customize the way some features of FlexNet Operations function by implementing externalservices on their own servers. Most external services can be implemented with SOAP services but some, like the capabilityrequest callout, support REST services.See External Web Services for more information about functionality that can be customized and guidance about how toimplement an external service.2Company ConfidentialFNO-2020R2-WSI00Flexnet Operations Web Services Integration Guide

2Using SOAP Web ServicesFlexNet Operations SOAP Web Services are accessed using a document-style SOAP mechanism from client applicationsthat you write. SOAP is an XML-based protocol that supports information exchange using HTTP and has implementationsin many programming languages. Because each Web Service is a document-style SOAP service, its parameters are sent in aspecific XML format. This format is defined in a service-specific XML Schema document and a WSDL file. A language-specificclient implementation (for example, C, C , Java, Visual Studio .NET, Perl) of each interface can be generated from itsWSDL file.A WSDL file defines the interface to each Web Service. The custom data types and XML Schema elements specific to eachinterface are defined in the FlexNet Operations SOAP Web Services Reference Guide. The files containing these interfacedefinitions are located at vices, where producer is theproducer code for your organization.Flexnet Operations Web Services Integration GuideFNO-2020R2-WSI00Company Confidential5

Toprovide producers with greater flexibility when managing their own Web Service client code, new Web Service versions arecreated as new features are added to existing services.The base version of each Web Service that exists in the root of the Web Services directory is the original versions introducedin FlexNet Operations 2016 and, in some cases, modified in FlexNet Operations 2016 Release 2. New versions are indicatedby a version designator: V1, V2, and so forth.

The base version of each service remains intact to preserve functionality of all existing WebService clients.To take advantage of a new Web Service version, producers must update their Web Service client code to reference the newversion’s WSDL and endpoint URL, and then make any additional code alterations necessary to take advantage of the newversion’s functionality.For example, to use the v1 of the Product Packaging service, reference the WSDL services/v1/ProductPackagingService?wsdlwhere producer is the producer code for your organization. Then make any additional code changes necessary to adaptyour Web Service client to use the new Web Service version.8Company ConfidentialFNO-2020R2-WSI00Flexnet Operations Web Services Integration Guide
