Access web services

You can start web services from a browser.

You can test a web service by starting the web service with a web browser. Access the following URL:

http://pim.host.address:pimport/services/ServiceName?method=getNumberOfItemsInCatalog&catalogName;=TestCatalog

Where http://pim.host.address:pimport is the web address for accessing your IBM® Product Master system. The ServiceName variable is the name that you entered for the web service in the Web Services Console, and TestCatalog is the catalog that you are querying.

If the catalog exists, a number of items that exist within the catalog are returned as an XML message.
