Can I use a REST style call in the WEB node?

We currently use SOAP but one of the applications we send to wants to switch to REST style. Can this be done in version 10?

Hi Anne, since you're currently using SOAP, I'm assuming you're talking about the web service node? If so, the web service node only supports SOAP in version 10.

Good morning Anne, you may be able to achieve this using the Web Run Node.

For example, Infor Process Automation is Built on Landmark Runtime Environment which offers up REST calls to some of the business classes delivered with Landmark Applications. The trick will be whether or not the REST service you are attempting to log into requires Authentication and whether you can get that piece to work.

EXAMPLE

WEB RUN NODE

Override Connection

Web Root = Landmark Server and Port = http://landmarkserver:port

User = Landmark User

Pass = Landmark User's Pass

URL Type = Infor Lawson

Web Program = ltm/soap/ldrest/Actor/ActiveActorList_ListOperation?Actor=russc&__PersonName.FamilyName_translation___=%20

Method = GET

========================================= Workunit Log==============================

Activity started: WebRun5150 (Run Id: 14)

WebRun WebRun5150: Executing WebRun activity node

WebRun WebRun5150: call type Lawson HTTP Call

WebRun WebRun5150: calling host usspvwlms1.technology.gsc:81 web program ltm/soap/ldrest/Actor/ActiveActorList_ListOperation?Actor=russc&__PersonName.FamilyName_translation___=%20

WebRun WebRun5150: Post string

WebRun5150_result = {"ActiveActorList_ListOperationResponseArray":[{"ActiveActorList_ListOperationResponse":{"__PersonName.FamilyName_translation___":"Cornelson","Actor":"russc"}}]}

WebRun WebRun5150: Success string found

WebRun5150_errorCode = 0

WebRun5150_informationCode = 0

WebRun5150_returnMessage =

WebRun5150_outputData =

Activity completed: WebRun5150

=====================================BONUS NOTES====================================

This returns JSON Result

{"ActiveActorList_ListOperationResponseArray":[{"ActiveActorList_ListOperationResponse":{"__PersonName.FamilyName_translation___":"Cornelson","Actor":"russc"}}]}

Use the JSON Parser to parse out the variable values

I can't get to Infor Xtreme at the moment or I would upload my sample flow to my KB article.

Hello,

Is this configuration the same for IPA version 11 against CloudSuite Financials and Supply Management? I would like to use the WebRun node to call the ItemLocation.ItemExtractList to pull several fields from our item master to a file.

Thank you.

KDavis, Yes, the configuration is the same; however, I would suggest Configuring a the Rest API endpoint in System Configuration under "Web" instead of overriding the connection in the web-run node. It makes the workflow more portable between data areas.

Hi Aaron_S, Thank you. I added the Web system configuration and referenced the "system" in Configuration name in my IPA. Since we are MT, I've used several different Web Roots that still does not return the data from the ItemLocation.ItemExtractList. In the system configuration under the Web tab, I used mingle-portal.inforcloudsuite.com/SLIDELLMEMORIAL_TST as the web root. The connection tests successfully. When I run the IPA, the data from ItemExtractList is not in the log file.

Thank you.
