Configure Web Services

Configure web service capabilities on your CA Automation Point server using Configuration Manager. Configuration Manager displays a web services dialog after you navigate to the Expert Interface, Infrastructure, Web Services entry in the configuration tree.

CA Automation Point web services are accessed through a Java servlet. Therefore, install a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) and a Java servlet application server on the AP server computer. The Configuration Manager dialog automatically detects when a JRE is installed and if Apache Tomcat is installed. If not, the dialog guides you through the process of installing those necessary components.

The web services provided by CA Automation Point are categorized into two areas of functionality automation and notification. You can enable just automation services, just notification services, neither, or both.

For automation web service requests to be processed, configure and run both the CA Automation Point Desktop application and the Remote Manager service.

Note: The CA Automation Point Desktop can be started manually from the Windows Start menu, or started automatically by the CA Automation Point Autostart Manager service.

For notification web service requests to be processed, configure and run the Notification Server service.
