URL Alias Management
The TIBCO iProcess Web Services Plug-in allows you to defer the location of the WSDL used to call the Web Service at runtime. This is achieved using URL Aliases. The aliases are stored as an entry in a database table which is used to locate the WSDL URL which will be used at runtime.
The aliases can be configured either with the command line utility or when you define your Web Services step. This allows you to change the location of the WSDL file or the WSDL endpoint without having to modify the Web Services step. For example, when a procedure is migrated from a test environment to a live environment, the URL alias can be updated to point to the new location of the WSDL file, see Administering URL Aliases and Security Profiles.
You can also associate a security profile with a URL alias by selecting the security profile when you define the step and URL alias. Then, when you next define a step and select the URL alias, the corresponding security profile is displayed.
