REST-Based Web Services

To be able to call the MII transaction using REST-based services, proceed as follows:

1. When creating the universal Web service destination system, select the description type No Service Description.

2. In the endpoint URI field, enter the URI as follows:

   https://<server name>:<port number>/XMII/Runner

3. On the Security Settings tab, select the appropriate authentication parameters.

4. On the Operation Configuration tab, change the method to GET and switch to the tab Templates  Request.

   You enter the template in the Request screen area according to the following schema:

   IsAsync={inIsAsync}&Persistence={inPersistence}&Transaction={inTransaction}&{inParameter1}={inValue1}&{inParameter2}={inValue2}&Session=false&content-type=text/xml

   The values in the curly brackets are automatically interpreted by the system as input variables and appear in the variables list on the Request Message Configuration tab. They allow the transaction to be parameterized at runtime. They have the following meaning:

   Input Variables

   Input Variable	Meaning
   inIsAsync	Can have the values True or False and controls whether the MII transaction is to be processed asynchronously.
   inPersistence	Can have the values NEVER, ALWAYS, and ONERROR and controls whether the MII transaction is never to be stored, always to be stored, or only to be stored when there are errors.
   inTransaction	Is the name of the transaction in the format <folder>/<transaction>.
   inParameter1	Denotes the name of the first transaction parameter.
   inValue1	Denotes the value of the first transaction parameter. This assignment applies accordingly to further parameters.
