2.4 Categories of Operations

To assist you in locating the operation you need to perform, the name of each operation is prefaced with its category name. For example, one category is called folder, and one operation within that category is folder_getEntry.

The following categories of Web services operations are available:

  • binder: Operations that are specific to workspaces, common to workspaces and folders, or that are to be applied to the workspace tree beginning at a specific node in the tree.

  • definition: Operations for obtaining and using definitions. Definitions are created by using the designers within the Vibe UI.

  • folder: Operations that affect only folders and their contents (entries and comments).

  • ical: The operation that adds a calendar entry.

  • ldap: Operations that work with LDAP data.

  • license: Operations used for license compliance.

  • migration: Operations that assist migration from the SiteScape Forum product to Vibe. See Migrating from SiteScape Forum or Other Collaboration Software in Upgrade in the OpenText Vibe 4.0.8 Installation Guide.

  • profile: Operations affecting users and groups.

  • search: Operations that assist in locating information based on criteria other than the defined type.

  • template: Operations that create workspaces and folders, or that get lists of available templates. (To create a completely configured folder, use template_addBinder and not binder_addBinder.)

  • zone: Operations that work with different Vibe starting points within the same installation. Each starting point contains its own unique workspace hierarchy.
