The interface is using dedicated SOAP web services for submission and updating provided by GGUS.
However the operations tickets feature is restricted to the use by operations portal.
SOAP web service
The SOAP web services for submitting and updating team tickets are described in a wsdl file. This wsdl file is mapped to the GGUS test instance. For getting the wsdl file of GGUS production instance please contact the GGUS administrators.
4 SOAP operations are provided with the web services:
