Service ID

Enter a name for the data feed. This name is then available for selection in the Feed Service selection on the Maintain Components screen and in Javascript. A10 - Mandatory

Service URL

Enter the URL of the service that is to be used by the component. For example, you can enter an RSS Data Feed in this field. For instance:

http://feeds.bbci.co.uk/news/england/rss.xml

sets the service of the component to the BBC UK News Feed. Parameters can be placed in the URL by the component with the use of placeholders. In the component you have an array of parameters, the position in the array relates to the placeholder. e.g.

http://example/rss?param1={0}%param2={1}

In addition, you can use a feed that takes data from PROIV.

For instance:

/p4rss?rssTask=TK_AU_GetDemoChartRSSFeed

where the p4rss parameter passes data through the PROIV Gateway.

Requires Company /Division
Select the check box to append the Operator ID to the Service URL. The parameter allows a service to return data specific to a company or operator. For example, graph data showing sales for a company/department could the Co/Div parameter to limit the data accordingly. If the check box is selected for a single Co/Div logon, the append format is as follows:

http://feeds.bbc.co.uk/news/englandrss.xml?coDiv=PTI&multiCoDivEnabled=N

Requires Operator Id?
If a service being called by the component is PROIV Operator dependent, enable the Require Operator Id? field. The ID is then passed into the service URL as a parameter and will limit the component appropriately, depending on the operator's privileges. The Operator ID is placed into the first placeholder. For example, if the Operator ID is 'aurora1' then selecting the Operator ID check box appends 'pid=aurora1' to the Service URL, so in this case becomes:

http://feeds.bbc.co.uk/news/englandrss.xml?pid=aurora1
