Integration Overview
Remote integration with the Services Portal (SP) is provided through the following means:
Web Services
The Services Portal integration interface supports a set of web services that provide a means for customers to manage and configure their fleet programmatically. New services/methods are enhanced and extended in each release of the Services Portal.
Event Subscription Service
The Services Portal integration interface also includes access to event-based data. These transactions are made available to integrators through the Event Subscription Service (ESS). ESS is built upon the publish/subscribe model. Applications use ESS to make transactions available for publication. In turn, ESS provides a common interface (accessible through web services) that allows customers to subscribe to, and subsequently consume, various transactions. These transactions are primarily event-based. The ESS transaction interface provides the means to receive these event feeds in near real time.
