Costpoint Help

Manage Web Services

Use the Manage Web Services screen to make Costpoint applications available as Data Web Services. You can create import or export web services based on the operations the selected application supports, without setting up each endpoint separately in the Web Integration Console.

Use export services to read data from Costpoint and use import services to add or update records.

The screen also lists applications already available as web services, including the integration method ID, module ID, and whether each method is for import or export. You can create a new integration method and module or add a method to an existing module.

Note: This screen does not replace the Web Integration Console. Use the Web Integration Console when you need more control over the specific subtasks or fiels included in a web service. In some integrations you may only want to expose a “limited surface” API to the web service “consumer” - both from a security and API usability perspective. For example, you may want to restrict your API to specific attributes of a project, employee, etc., rather than giving third-party system access to read or import the entire project, employee, etc., including all the subtasks.
