WCF Service

The Windows Communications Foundation (WCF) service implements the web services in CA APM. The web services let you use a standards-based interface to build client applications that integrate with CA APM.

The web services let you create, search, update, copy, and delete CA APM objects from your external client application. Your assigned user role determines whether you have permission to access the web services in CA APM. Your role also restricts the objects and data (classes and attributes) that you can view or modify.

Specify the server name for the WCF Service component. You can modify the WCF Service protocol setting. You can change the configuration of the WCF Service component after you install the product.

Note: For more information about changing the component configurations and adding servers, see the Administration Guide.
