  • 1.  IWS and clob types

    Posted Thu October 02, 2025 03:09 PM

    Hi, 

    Trying to create a service out of stored procedure having a clob as input and output parm. How does that get defined in the input source? 

    Thanks.

    It depends on what HTTP method you are using.   If GET, then it would need to be in path or query string.   But let us assume it is POST and the data is in the payload. So you would need to indicate the input parameters should be wrapped.  Thus, a client would do a POST request with following payload, assuming JSON:

    {

       "IN_ACTION" : "STOP", 
       "IN_DATA" : "KEY1"

    }

    would be a good resource. 

    I hope this helps.
