Cobra Web Services

Cobra Web services allow you to create applications that can programmatically execute Cobra functionalities over the network.

The Cobra Web services consist of two parts:

• Cobra Web Service Host — This is a Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) based Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) service which exposes the Cobra functionalities over the network.

• Cobra Web Service Client API — This is a .NET dynamic link library which consumes the WCF service. Deltek recommends that the application developers use this library in their applications.

There is a separate ClientAPI Reference help system for the Cobra Web Services that contains the dictionaries of namespaces and class definitions of the ClientAPI library. To access the help system, navigate to the Help subfolder of the Cobra Installation folder and open Web Service ClientAPI.chm.

Cobra Web services support the following processes:
