Service Definition Methods

Description

A service definition method is necessary to support method level limiting and response filtering. When adding Methods for your Endpoints, please note that the name of the method must match exactly what the Traffic Manager will be detecting based on the Methods Configuration setting for this Endpoint . This setting is found in the Services section of the Dashboard. You can also see the result of the Methods Configuration setting by checking the Method usage reports in the Reports section of the Dashboard. Using the names of the methods as seen in these reports is the easiest and best way to ensure that your method definitions will be correct.

NOTE:This object is available when API Packager is turned on for a customer. Please contact Support or your Account Manager if you have any questions about API Packager.
