Updated
2012-07-26

Purpose

This document describes the interface used by operations portal for submitting and updating operations tickets in GGUS.
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:

  • OpCreateOps
  • OpModifyOps
  • OpGetOps
  • OpGetListOps


OpCreateOps

This operation is being used for submitting operations tickets. It will return a ticket ID in case of success. In case of any problem an error message will occur.
Possible input values and their meaning are listed in the table below.
