About Sharing Metadata on an On-Premise Integration Server
You create applications on the on-premise Integration Server to share services with webMethods Cloud. Keep the following points in mind while sharing services through an application:
*You can share only services running on the on-premise Integration Server configured to create applications on webMethods Cloud.
*You can share only services contained in custom packages.
*You can share services from different packages in the same application. For example, if service A is located in package A, and service B is located in package B, you can add both service A and service B to the same application.
*You can share only those services whose signatures are of the following data types:
*String
*String List
*Document
*Document Reference
*Document List
*Document Reference List
*Object
*Object List
*You can share only those services that have an input and/or output signature specified.
*You can set the on-premise Integration Server to send service results to webMethods Cloud in batches.
*You cannot share service signatures that include:
*Cyclical dependencies of document references.
*Fields of type String Table, including fields of type String Table in a Document.
*An empty Document or Document List.
*When the server log facility code 0021 webMethods Cloud is set to the Debug log level, Integration Server writes log messages that indicate why an on-premise service is marked as not shareable.
*You must configure one or more accounts to associate with the application before you can upload the application to webMethods Cloud. For more information about configuring accounts, see Configuring Accounts for webMethods Cloud .
*You must upload the application for the updates to be shared with webMethods Cloud if you edit:
*The application.
*The signature or referenced Document of a service shared by the application.
*When you upload an application, it replaces the application and operations available on webMethods Cloud with the one that you upload.
