Tutorial: REST Service Interface

Walks you through the process of defining a Representational State Transfer (REST) service interface using the Interface Mapping Toolkit (IMTK), deploying it to an enterprise server instance, and generating and running a client to access it.
Restriction: This topic applies only when the Enterprise Server feature is enabled.
Restriction: This topic applies to Windows environments (local development) only.

In this tutorial, you walk through the steps required to define a service interface using the Interface Mapping Toolkit (IMTK), deploy it to an enterprise server instance, and generate and run a client to access it.

Complete this tutorial by following the instructions in the following topics in the order listed here:
