Web Service Editor
A Web Service is used to communicate to another device over the Web (Internet).
To define a web service the following steps are needed:
Service Url and Action Section
-
Enter the service URL into the appropriate text field and hit Query.
-
Choose one of the available actions the web service provides.
Input Parameter Section
-
Assign to each input parameter either a constant value or a workflow variable. A constant value may be 1, 1.5, 'stringvalue'. A variable may be a single word i.e. MyVar.
-
If necessary, edit a value converter. This is useful if the data in your variable must be transformed.
You may now hit the Test Service Call button in the toolbar to view the returned value.
Output Parameter
-
Assign a workflow variable to the web service output parameter (ie. the result).
-
If necessary, edit a value converter. This is useful if the data of the result must be transformed.
