Web Operation Properties

To view or edit a web operation's properties, double-click its Browser or list entry. The property sheet tabs and fields listed here are those available by default, before any customization of the interface by you or an administrator.

The General tab contains the following properties:

Property	Description
Name/Code/Comment	Identify the object. The name should clearly convey the object's purpose to non-technical users, while the code, which is used for generating code or scripts, may be abbreviated, and should not normally include spaces. You can optionally add a comment to provide more detailed information about the object. By default the code is generated from the name by applying the naming conventions specified in the model options. To decouple name-code synchronization, click to release the = button to the right of the Code field. In URIs, the name of the web operation comes after the name of the web service followed by a slash, and should not start with a slash nor contain two consecutive slashes.
Stereotype	Extends the semantics of the object. You can enter a stereotype directly in this field, or add stereotypes to the list by specifying them in an extension file.
Web Service	Code of the web service containing the web operation. Click the Properties tool to open the web service property sheet
Owner	[ASE 15 only] Specifies the owner of the operation.
Operation Type	[IBM DB2 only] Specifies the type of operation. You can choose from the following: call - invokes a stored procedure with parameters and result columns for the web operation query - retrieves relational data using the SQL select statement in the Implementation tab retrieveXML - retrieves an XML document from relational data. The mapping of relational data to XML data is defined by a DAD file with SQL or RDB as MappingType storeXML - stores an XML document as relational data. The mapping of XML data to relational data is defined by a DAD file, with RDB as MappingType update - executes the SQL update statement with optional parameters. Parameters can be created from the Parameters tab in the web operation property sheet
Keywords	Provide a way of loosely grouping objects through tagging. To enter multiple keywords, separate them with commas.

Implementation Tab

The Implementation tab contains the SQL statement of the Web operation. For information about the tools on this tab, see SQL Editor Tools.

Security Tab

This tab is available for ASA/SQL Anywhere and IQ, and displays the following properties:

Property	Description
Secured connection	If selected, only HTTPS connections are accepted. If cleared, both HTTP and HTTPS connections are accepted
Required authorization	If selected, all users must provide a name and a password. When cleared, a single user must be identified
Connection User	When authorization is required, you can select <None> or a list of user names. When authorization is not required, you must select a user name. Default value is <None>, which means all users are granted access

The following tabs are also available:

Parameters - Lists the parameters associated with the Web operation (see Web Parameters (PDM)), which are part of the SQL statement defined on the Implementation tab. You can create parameters on this tab, or reverse engineer them from a web service (ASA, ASE, and IQ only). In addition to the standard list tools, you can use the Add Parameters from SQL Implementation tool (ASA, ASE, and IQ only) to display the parameters resulting from the reverse engineering of the web service.
Result Columns - Lists the result columns associated with the Web operation (see Web Operation Result Columns). In addition to the standard list tools, you can use the Add Result Columns from Executing SQL Statement tool to display the result columns resulting from the execution of the SQL statement in the database.
Sybase - [ASE only] Displays Sybase-specific options (see Sybase ASE).
