E-Sourcing web services

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have a question relating to E-Sourcing capability to publish and consume web services

a) Can we create and publish new web services on E-Sourcing system. Intention is to create and publish custom web services that would enable external applications to access the web services and fetch data from E-Sourcing system on a demand basis

b) Does E-Sourcing have the capability to consume web services published by external applications. Similar to the Contract Generation web service that is available as part of the E-Sourcing application.

Any pointers towards this would be very helpful.

Thanks,

Balaji

Hi Vikram,

As a followup to the comments you had provided earlier, here is a system propery definition.

system.webservices.enabled - Set the value to TRUE in case Web Services framework should be enabled for the enterprise.

Can you please check and let us know what is the significance of this property in the web services perspective?

Regards,

Balaji

Tridip,

Itu2019s same look and feel as portal.

Balaji,

I believe this system property is used for internal use only. So, I wouldnu2019t recommend trying to leverage this.
