Import tools web service

The WS-I web service ImportToolsAPI replaces the following deprecated RPCE web services:

  • IImportToolsAPI
  • IUserAPI
  • IGroupAPI

Replacement and new methods for IImportToolsAPI

The ImportToolsAPI web service has replacements for the methods on IImportToolsAPI, as well as the following new methods:

  • importXml – Imports only administrative data from XML data that conforms to an archiving import XSD or topc_import.xsd
  • importArchiveXmlData – Imports only administrative data from XML data in UTF-8 encoding that conforms to an XML format for archiving data
  • importArchiveXmlDataAsByteArray – Imports only administrative data from XML data in a byte array that conforms to an XML format for archiving data

Replacement methods for IUserAPI and IGroupAPI

Use the ImportToolsAPI instead of IUserAPI and IGroupAPI to add a user or group with methods that import XML or CSV formatted text. For other methods in IUserAPI and IGroupAPI, there are no equivalent WS-I replacements. Guidewire recommends that you write your own WS-I web service to transfer only the necessary user or group data for each integration point.
