How to setup a web service node with relative address so that it uses DEV WS in DEV Rich client, TST

Is it possible to setup a web service note with relative address so that it uses DEV WS in DEV Rich client, TST WS in TST Rich client and PRD WS in PRD rich client? WSDL schema url needs full address to web service location.

(Similar to M3 transaction node were you setup only API and M3 environment is inherited from Rich client Configuration set properties.)

I tried to setup only relative way and inherit M3 environment from Rich client Configuration set properties, but without any success.

So , nowadays i need to create 3 different Web service nodes in every IPA flow (one for DEV with full url to DEV WS, one for TST with full url to TST WS and the last one for PRD with full url to PRDWS) and use the right one according to Rich client environment.

I would use dns to solve the issue of using a relative address. OR you could use a host file and point to the correct service DEV, TST, or PROD. Another solution would be to setup the host as a variable in IPA and use <!host>/relative_path but both solutions will work, in my mind I would explicitly state it as a variable in the flow just in case you forget to change the DNS.

Jarda, The Web Service Node can use Process Flow Variables for ALL configurable fields.

SOAP Location = <!_configuration.system.LOCATION>

SOAP Action = <!_configuration.system.SOAPACTION>

Schema URL = <!_configuration.system.SOAPSCHEMAURL>

etc

In Process Server Administrator > Configuration > System Configuration > Open the System Configuration set and create these properties in DEV/TST/PRD and populate the value with the appropriate value. Then it won't matter where you are running the flow, it will use the correct setting for the correct environment.
