Response Message Configuration Tab

Prerequisites

You have tested the Web service call using the Test Request Message pushbutton and entered values for the request variables in the dialog box. If the call was successful, a response is generated.

Context

On this tab, you can assign variables to the fields of a response message that you then continue processing in a notification enhancement, for example, in the SAP standard enhancement Destination System Calls with Response Processing (see also: Destination System Calls with Response Processing).

The Response Message Configuration tab is divided up into three screen areas:

  • Response Message Configuration Table

  • List of Selected Output Variables

  • Calculated Variables

Procedure

  1. If the call of the Web service was successful, PCo displays the fields for the response message on the Response Message Configuration tab. All the response message fields are displayed with the current values of the response.

    You can now assign variables to the response message fields that you can use in a notification enhancement.

    The following data is displayed in the Response Message Configuration table:

    Column

    Description

    Parameter Name

    The parameters that have been generated for the response message are displayed here.

    Parameter Type

    Specifies for each parameter the object type provided by the Web Service, for example:

    • StartRequestMessage_sync

    • String

    • SiteRef

    Value

    The values determined by the Web service are displayed here.

    Output Variable

    Here you can assign a variable name to each field that shows a variable. These names are then displayed in the list of output variables.
  2. In addition to the variables that you assign to the fields of a response message, you can define calculated variables in the lower screen area that you can also use in a notification enhancement. For more information about calculated variables, see Calculated Variables in a Web Service Response Message.
  3. Save your entries.
