Use the Cobra Web Service Gateway Configuration Tool

You use Cobra Web Service Gateway Configuration Tool to define the gateway's listening endpoint and the Cobra Web Service endpoints.

To use the Cobra Web Service Gateway tool to configure the endpoints:

  1. Navigate to the Cobra installation directory, and locate the Cobra Web Service Gateway Configuration Tool (CWSGatewayConfigurationTool).
  2. Right-click the tool, and select Run As Administrator command from the shortcut menu.

    The tool reads the application configuration file and populates the fields in the Gateway Endpoint and Cobra Web Service Endpoints grids. The tool displays a prompt if the application configuration file does not exist. You can copy the application configuration file from another machine with Cobra installed, or you can reinstall the latest version of Cobra on the machine you are using.

  3. You can change the Host and Port fields in the Gateway Endpoint grid. The Address field is automatically updated when you modify these fields.
    Note: The name and address of each Cobra Web Service endpoint is required. The name must be unique. To easily trace specific web service in the log, Deltek recommends entering a meaningful value for the Name (for example, including the machine name that hosts the Cobra Web Service and port number).
  4. To add a new endpoint, click the row with an asterisk (*) in the row header in the Cobra Web Service Endpoints grid, and enter the appropriate values.
    Note: The name and address of each Cobra Web service endpoints are required. The name must be unique.
  5. To delete an endpoint, click the header row of the appropriate row and press Delete on your keyboard.
    Note: The Cobra Web Service Gateway will treat blank rows as invalid. You must delete the row in order to proceed.
  6. Click Save to save your changes.

    The tool validates that there are no duplicate Cobra Web Service Endpoint names. If there are duplicate entries, the tool displays a message that there are duplicate entries for a specific name.
