We use SOAP web services for the searching. Access is based on IP address, I believe. Quoting James Howison on this list, 10 July 2007: >> Anyway here's the web services interface: >> >> http://scientific.thomson.com/support/faq/webservices/ >> >> In particular: >> >> http://scientific.thomson.com/ts/media/faq/webservices.zip >> >> As I saw it the difficulty in using their webservices is that they >> expect queries to come from an authorized IP address. > - if there is a web address, could there be a pref (hidden possibly) > to change it? There is a web address, and there could certainly be a pref to change it, but I'm skeptical that it would be compatible with your portal. I think you'll have to do some checking on your end to see if that service is available. The link here should give you enough info to find out via your system administrators. -- Adam ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
