Configuring an orchestration to orchestration connection

You can configure a Web Service endpoint to call another Web Service orchestration stored in the Integration Appliance, in the same project.

About this task

You can configure an Orchestration to Orchestration connection by specifying the transport protocol to the endpoint location as local:// instead of the conventional http://.

You apply this option to either call (invoke) or provide endpoint type.

Procedure

  1.  Open a new or existing Web Service endpoint.
  2. In the Type section, select either the Invoke option or Provide option. Invoke is selected by default.
    • If you select the Invoke option, complete the following steps:
      1. From the Location drop-down list, select Local
      2. From the Orchestration drop-down list, select the orchestration you want to call.
      3. From the WS Provide Activity drop-down list, select an activity.
        Note: This activity is displayed only if the selected orchestration has a Web Services Provide Service starter activity and Local as the relevant endpoint. If you select an orchestration that does not have a Web Services Provide Service starter activity, then the WS Provide Activity menu is empty.
    • If you select the Provide option, complete the following steps:
      1. From the Transport drop-down list, select Local.
      2. In the Path field, enter the path which is used to call the Provide activity.
