Overview

Universal Controller supports the following RESTful-based web services for Global Universal Event Templates, which are listed alphabetically on this page.

Formatting specifications for each web service, including details about parameter requirements, are provided.

Auditing Universal Events

The Universal Event Web Service Publish Audit lets you specify whether or not an audit record is generated for each Universal Event published through the Universal Event Web Services.

(The Universal Event Extension Publish Audit lets you specify whether or not an audit record is generated for each Universal Event published through an Extension-based Universal Task Instance.)

Enabling these audit properties can generate a large quantity of audit.
