EVALUATION OF USE OF A SERVICE AND/OR FUNCTION PROVIDED OR CALLED BY A WEB SERVICE

摘要

A method for evaluating use of a service and/or function provided by an automation component. To implement an evaluation of a use of the service and/or functions of the automation component with little hardware complexity, a web service is called by a web service call, the web service call or a function call generated by the web service is recognized by means of a recognition module implemented in the automation component, service and/or function information that regards the called service and/or function and that is contained in the web service call or the function call is read out by means of the recognition module, the web service is executed after release, service- and/or function-specific data are detected by means of a detection module during the execution of the web service, and the service and/or function provided by the automation component is evaluated.

1. Method for assessing a use of a service (D) and/or function (F) provided or called by a web service (AK1; . . . ; AK11), comprising the process steps:
recognizing a web service call (WSA), recognizing information concerning the service (D) and/or function (F) provided or called by the web service (WS1 . . . ; WS11), and assessing the use of the service (D) and/or (F) provided or called, on the basis of parameters and the information captured, characterized in that the web service (WS1; . . . ; WS11) is implemented in an automation component (AK1; . . . ; AK11), and the web service (WS1; . . . ; WS11) is called locally for the performance of the service (D) and/or function (F) by a web service call (WSA), in that the web service call (WSA) or a function call (FA) generated by the web service (WS1; . . . ; WS11) is locally recognized by means of a recognition module (ERKM1; . . . ; ERKM11) implemented in the automation component (AK1; . . . ; AK11), in that component-specific parameters (P, SLAG) are stored for the recognizing and capturing of web service calls (WSA) in the form of service level agreements locally in a storage element (SM) of the automation components (AK1; . . . ; AK11), in that service and/or function information concerning the called service (D) and/or function (F) and contained in the web service call (WSA) or in the function call (FA) is locally read out by means of the recognition module (ERKM1; . . . ; ERKM11) and locally stored in the storage element (SM) and compared to the stored capturing parameters, in that the web service (WS1; . . . ; WS11) in the case of conformity of a recognition parameter is approved and performed by the recognition module (ERKM1; . . . ; ERKM11), in that, during the performance of the web service (WS1; . . . ; WS11), service and/or function-specific data is captured by means of a capturing module (ERFM1; . . . ; ERFM11) locally implemented in the automation component, and stored in the storage module (SM), and in that the service (D) and/or function (F) provided by the automation component (AK1; . . . ; AK11) is(are) locally assessed on the basis of the service and/or function information, of the service- and/or function-specific data, and of the locally defined assessment parameters.
