Overview

Web services are used for managing communication between an OEM application and Yellowfin. These are XML based and independent of the programming language used to develop the OEM application.

The web service interface Yellowfin exposes use SOAP, which is a protocol widely used for web services. Yellowfin provides a Java web service API for connecting to the SOAP web services, but it is also possible to connect from practically any other programming language or environment such as .NET, Ruby and Python.

You will need the web services admin user's details (login name and password) to perform web service calls.

 

Groups

  • Administration Service  allows to manage users and client orgs, and perform Single-Sign-On. These are enabled with any Yellowfin license.
  • Report Service allows to load reports/dashboard definitions, render reports into your interface, etc. This requires a Server license.
