FAQ

The WebService registers its SOAP interface on port 9000 (can be changed in the configuration file) after one minute when the service gets started. You might check the web service by calling the following URL from any browser:

http://<JDiscDiscoveryServerIP>:9000/InventoryLogon?wsdl

When the service is active, then the URL returns the XML description of the logon web service SOAP interface. When the URL returns an error, then the web service is not active. Check the logs (logs folder) for error messages.

No!

The WebService implements access to some JDisc Functionality using a SOAP interface on port 9000. However, with the new GraphQL-based API, the SOAP service is obsolete. I-Doit can access our GraphQL-API to perform the same tasks as with the WEB Service starting with i-doit Release 22.

Simply change the protocol in i-doit to HTTPS and use port 443 and then i-doit will use the GraphQL API and you can uninstall the obsolete WEB Service Add-On.

The GraphQL-API offers two major advantages:

• It is using HTTPS by default (as with the WEB Service, HTTP was used by default)
• It is a modern and powerful API that lets you automate everything in JDisc.

The free WebService add-on offers an interface to initiate specific actions or configurations via a SOAP API. The SOAP API is mainly used by our strategic partners which integrate specific JDisc funktionality into their solution.
