Cisco Cisco Process Orchestrator 3.1 User Guide

Web services are components on a Web server that a client application can call by making HTTP requests 
across the Web. The Cisco Process Orchestrator Web Service adapter is designed to support general web 
service calls. The adapter allows users to send requests using web service methods and other parameters 
to generate an XML output. Web Targets allow activities to execute against a web site or web service 
that is hosted by several machines.

The following table displays the activities that are provided by the Web Services adapter. For more 
information about using these activities, see

Use the following process to monitor and manage Web Services instances.

The HTTP Endpoints are encrypted by default. This is the most compatible endpoint that Process 
Orchestrator can offer for accessing the web service, but it is not necessary for normal Process 
Orchestrator operations.
