Typical web service client operation
Procedure
A typical sequence of operations performed by your web service client are:
1. Connect to the PlanonSession web service.
2. Log in with a valid user name and password to obtain a session identifier.
* 
To be able to use Web services, make sure that the appropriate user group is linked to the PPWS product definition: Web Services. For more information, see product definitions (Accounts).
3. Connect to the actual web service.
4. Perform operations on this web service.
5. Connect to the PlanonSession web service.
6. Log out from Planon ProCenter.
* 
•    It is mandatory to log into the Planon ProCenter framework. It is the only way to obtain a valid session identifier.
•    Each login session to Planon ProCenter via web services must be followed by a logout when the goal is complete. Doing so will prevent unnecessary memory usage by inactive web services as the session data will be cleaned up automatically after logout.
•    Planon will trigger a session time-out if a web service is inactive for more than 24 hours.
