Using the Adapter for WebFOCUS Client REST

The Adapter for WebFOCUS Client REST 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.

Once you add a connection for the Adapter for WebFOCUS Client REST, you can use the connection to create an application in the Server Web Console that is linked to an existing WebFOCUS Repository. For information, see the Server Administration manual.

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.
