  • 1.  How to call an external webservices in POST format from Datacap ?

    Posted Mon September 27, 2021 09:05 AM
    Hello,

    From Datacap (9.1.6 iFix 06) we want to make calls to external REST webservices in POST format and retrieve a value in the response returned by the webservice. Is this possible?

    It seems to me that the "WebService.action.WsUploadFile" action simply allows to send a file in POST format but no way to retrieve a value in the webservice response (unlike WsGetValues).

    Best regards

    Hi Nicolas,

    You need to use the APIs to create a batch, execute rules on the batch and then return the results.

    The Datacap REST APIs are documented here: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/datacap/9.1.8?topic=reference-datacap-web-services-rest-api-methods

    Take care,
    Tod
