Adapter for WebFOCUS

The Adapter for WebFOCUS integrates with the WebFOCUS Client through WebFOCUS RESTful Web Services. Explicit and Password Passthru authentication to WebFOCUS is handled by configuring the connection to the adapter. A successful authentication returns a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) token that is automatically passed on each WebFOCUS RESTful Web Service call.

When you right-click the connection and click Show DBMS objects, you can then click Create Synonym(s) and Examples, which loads a set of examples that include Master Files, Access Files, and Procedures. Each of these examples performs a specific WebFOCUS function, such as security maintenance, ReportCaster scheduling, and folder maintenance.

To configure the adapter, right-click the adapter on the Available list and click Configure. The Add Connection page opens. Configure the following parameters.

Is a name for the connection.

WebFOCUS Base Url

Is the URL used to access WebFOCUS, in the form http://computername:port/ibi_apps.

Security
