    1. Your Operations Connector is configured to work with OMi by using the bsmc-conf tool.

    3. Your Operations Connector is set up as a connected server in OMi.

  2. In the Operations Connector user interface, click Create in the toolbar. Then click Event > REST Web service listener REST Web Service Listener.

    Alternatively, double-click an existing policy to edit it.

  3. In the Properties page, define information that is related to the policy itself (for example, the name and description of the policy).

  4. In the Source page, define the path parameter that is a part of the actual URL where the REST Web Service Listener listens for the XML data from the Web service client.

  5. In the Mappings page, configure the default mappings of the XML properties to custom variables.

  6. Optional. In the Defaults page, configure the default settings for all events generated by the policy (for example, default event correlation settings).

  7. In the Rules page, define what the policy should do in response to a specific Web service data.

  8. In the Options page, configure several policy behaviors (for example, pattern matching options).

  9. Click Save and Close to save the policy and close the editor.

  10. Optional. If the list of policies does not refresh automatically in the Operations Connector user interface, click Refresh in the toolbar.
