Implicit and Explicit Universal Names
Every service or document type that exists on Integration Server has an explicit or an implicit universal name.
*An explicit universal name is a universal name that you specifically assign to a service or document type with Designer. When you assign an explicit universal name, you must specify both the namespace name and the local name.
*An implicit universal name is automatically derived from the name of the service or the document type. The implicit name acts as the universal name when a service or document type does not have an explicit universal name. The server derives an implicit name as follows:
*The namespace name is the literal string http://localhost/ followed by the fully qualified name of the folder in which the service or document type resides on the Integration Server.
*The local name is the unqualified name of the service or document type.
The following table shows the implicit names for a variety of service names:
The service’s implicit universal name is...
Fully qualified service name
Namespace name
Namespace name
gl.journals:jrnlEntry
http://localhost/gl.journals
jrnlEntry
gl.journals.query:viewJournals
http://localhost/gl.journals.query
viewJournals
orders:postPO
http://localhost/orders
postPO
Note:
It is possible for an implicit name to match the explicit name of another service. When this condition exists, the explicit name takes precedence. That is, when a universal name is requested, Integration Server searches its registry of explicit names first. If it does not find the requested name there, it looks for a matching implicit name.
