The Properties of a Virtual Service (REST)
 
Managing a Virtual Service (REST)
*To view or modify the properties of a virtual service (REST)
1. Open Software AG Designer and display the CloudStreams Development perspective by clicking Window > Open Perspective > Other > CloudStreams Development.
2. In the CloudStreams Governance view, expand your CloudStreams Governance project and click the virtual service name. (If the Properties view is not already open, click Window > Show View > Other > General > Properties.)
3. The General page in the Properties view displays the following properties:
Option
Description
Name
(Read-only field.) The service name. You can change the service name at any time by right-clicking the name in the Virtual Services folder and clicking Rename.
Service Type
(Read-only field.) REST.
Created/Last Modified
(Read-only field.) The service's creation/modification timestamps.
Target Namespace
(Read-only field.) The value is derived from the targetNamespace attributes of the WSDL's definition element.
Namespaces
Specify other namespaces (such as wsdl, xsd, etc.).
Version
The version is always set to 1.0.
WSDL URL
(Read-only field.) The URL of the REST resource's abstract WSDL.

4. View additional properties on the Advanced page.
Option
Description

Version
The version is always set to 1.0.
Description
(Read-only field.) The service description.
VSD
Click the button next to this field to view the service's virtual service definition (VSD). This button is disabled until you deploy the virtual service to a CloudStreams server.
When you deploy the virtual service to a CloudStreams server, CloudStreams generates an XML document called a virtual service definition (VSD). The VSD defines the virtual service for CloudStreams, and contains all the resources required to deploy the virtual service to a CloudStreams server, including the policy that applies to the service. You cannot edit the VSD.
Note:
If multiple policies apply to the service, CloudStreams combines all those policies into a single policy known as the effective policy. The effective policy is a simple UNION of the run-time actions specified in all policies that apply to a service. To create the effective policy, CloudStreams evaluates the combined list of actions from all policies, using a set of internal rules known as Policy Conflict Resolution rules. For details, see Policy Conflict Resolution Rules.
Applicable Policies
Click the button next to this field to view a list of the active policies that apply to this service. Any inactive policy that applies to the service is not listed.
Endpoint
Click the button next to this field to view the endpoint to which the virtual service is deployed, if applicable.
Deployed Status
(Read-only field.) Indicates whether the service is Deployed, Undeployed or Not Deployed (which is the initial status before you deploy the service). To deploy or undeploy a service, see Deploying Virtual Services and Connector Virtual Services.
Resource
Click the button next to this field to view the REST resource that the service will access. For details, see Creating a New Virtual Service (REST).
Note:
To add a REST resource to the service, right-click the service name and click Attach Resource.
