These steps enable you to set up the Federation Web Services application. The Federation Web Services application is installed on the server with the Web Agent Option Pack or the SPS federation gateway.
To configure Federation Web Services at the producing authority
If you are using the SPS federation gateway, the Federation Web Services is already deployed.
The AffWebServices.properties file contains the initialization parameters for Federation Web Services. This file is located in the one of the following directories:
Represents the installed location of the Web Agent
Represents the installed location of the SPS federation gateway
http://fqhn:port_number/affwebservices/assertionretriever
where fqhn is the fully-qualified host name and port_number is the port number of the server where the Federation Web Services application is installed.
For example:
http://myhost.ca.com:81/affwebservices/assertionretriever
If Federation Web Services is operating correctly, you should see a message that reads:
Assertion Retrieval Service has been successfully initialized. The requested servlet accepts only HTTP POST requests.
This message indicates that Federation Web Services is listening for data activity. If Federation Web Services is not operating correctly, you will get a message that the Assertion Retrieval Service has failed. In case of failure, check the Federation Web Services log.
