Once a session is established on the server, the client must open an encyclopedia. Only Enterprise encyclopedias are supported by the System Architect XT Web Service. The OpenEncyclopedia method requires a SessionId and a SAWSEncy object. The SAWSEncy object contains the information needed to locate the desired enterprise encyclopedia. The database type can be specified by using the exposed SAWSENCY_TYPE enumeration.
The impersonation account defined in the System Architect XT Web Service web.config file is used to access the database that contains the target encyclopedia. This account requires standard System Architect privileges on the SQL Server. The System Architect XT Web Service server software will run in the context of this account and must be able to connect to the SQL Server database using Integrated Windows Authentication; users do not need their own SQL Server database account. Users will be authorized by the System Architect Enterprise Catalog on the SQL Server selected at run time.
See the System Architect and System Architect XT Installation Guide for more information on accessing encyclopedias.
