The Global Web Services object is a child of the Call Services object.
The Global Web Services object contains global configuration parameters for allowing subscribers to change the configuration of their Call Services using a Web interface. There is a single Global Web Services object; it is created before delivery of the MetaSwitch NE and you cannot delete it.
To configure the switch to support Web Services, you must first install the Web Server software, which provides the user interface to the Web Services function.

When you first make the Web Services function available to subscribers, or after an upgrade or a change to the Web Services customization, you should use the Web Services CRAFT UI to check both the Problem Log and Warning Log frequently (typically once a day), and take action on any problems that you find. In addition, if the Global Web Services object in the EMS is alarmed, or if a subscriber reports problems with the service, you should check first the Problem Log and then the Warning Log for information that may help to resolve the problem. After any initial problems have been solved, you should not see any further Problem Log entries in normal operation, and it should be sufficient to check these files once a week (or when Global Web Services is alarmed or problems are reported by subscribers). See the MetaSwitch Class 5 Softswitch Ancillary Servers Guide for information about using the Web Services CRAFT UI. |
Most parameters relating to Web Services are visible in the EMS System Explorer only when the service is set to Configured or Disabled.
