ION Api Invoke to trigger Mingle Workflow

Ryan Pukanski

Hi everyone,

I have an API call that will start a mingle workflow via the process API. When I do the test in API Gateway it works as expected:

I have set a logical ID and used JSON for the body

{
"workflowName": "VOL_PODeviation_Approval",
"instanceName": "DEV",
"inputVariables": [
{
"name": "Configuration",
"dataType": "STRING",
"value": "XYG"
},
{
"name": "LogicalID",
"dataType": "STRING",
"value": "XYG"
},
{
"name": "POLine",
"dataType": "STRING",
"value": "1"
},
{
"name": "PONum",
"dataType": "STRING",
"value": "3PO123"
}]
}

I would like to call this via Mongoose ION API. However, I cannot figure out how to convert the logical ID and JSON into a format that is understood:

I know I am doing something really wrong here - but does anyone have experience/success in calling API through ION API Invoke? 

Thanks
Ryan

Ryan,

Firstly, can I recommend our new community site https://community.developer.infor.com on the Developer portal for subjects around the Platform Technology.

To your question:

The Test ION API Invoke form uses the IONAPIMethords.InvokeIONAPIMethod method to call ION API. That IDO provides a few slightly different methods to call APIs.

The way to pass parameters to these is as a JSON Array of Objects. Each objects relates to a parameters and is of the format:

["name": "<Parameter name>", "type": "<Parameter Type>", "value": "<Parameter Value>"}

Parameter Type can be header, query, path or body

In your case you would have to pass your request body as a parameter of type body. You will have to escape the double quotes as " for this to work.
