How To Use Local Web Service

Local Web Service is available in Siebel Enterprise Application version 7.5 and higher. Local Web Service provides customers with the ability to invoke inbound Web Service locally. When calling Local Web Service by the outbound Web Service, the request will not pass through the web server but directly call to the inbound Web Service.

How to integrate or consume an external RESTful web service in Siebel 8

Siebel Application does not support REST web services on Siebel 8.0.x version, inbound .

REST inbound web service support is GA in release 8.1.1.4.

Specifically for the OUTBOUND scenario, nothing new is added by release 8.1.1.4.

Outbound scenarios are similar to "pure" HTTP calls and EAI HTTP Transport business service is already capable of doing that on any siebel release.

Can 2 Middleware environments share the same Siebel UCM 8.1.1 environment using the customer MDM PIP?

It is not feasible to link up the same UCM env to 2 Middleware environments without issues.  The UCM outbound services can be configured to publish events to only 1 Middleware environment at any given time.  So the outbound flows can point to only one PIP installation. If you intends to use both installations together, then outbound events won't happen on both Middleware environments, only one. If you are going to use it in turns, then that might work.
