The SA XT Web Service allows client applications to call server-side methods that access data in a System Architect Encyclopedia using standard SOAP messages.

The WSDL is located at the following URL after installation:

The URL used to invoke the service is:

Where <SAXTWebService> is the IIS virtual directory name assigned by the user during installation.

All methods except StartSession require a session id as an input parameter. The session id is returned by the StartSession method, which must be the first method called. The returned session id must be passed by the client application on all subsequent calls.

All methods return a SAWSResult object. The SAWSResult contains an error number and error message. If the error number is 0 then the method call was successful and the error message is empty. If the method call failed the error, number will not be zero and the error message will contain a description of the problem. If the method call was successful, the output field will contain the method specific results.
