The 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

  1. Enter the service URL into the appropriate text field and hit Query
  2. Choose one of the available actions, the web service provides


Input Parameter Section

  1. 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.
  2. 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

  1. Assign a workflow variable to the web service output parameter (ie. the result).
  2. If necessary edit a value converter. This is useful, if the data of the result must be transformed
