Testing and Activating a Web Service Callable Object

To be able to use a callable object in a process, you need to activate it. Before doing so, you can execute it in test mode to ensure that it functions properly.

You have opened the callable object Start a Process in Guided Procedures design time.

For more information, see Importing a Web Service in Guided Procedures .

1. Open the Test tab page.
2. Enter UDName and UDDescription for the process.
3. Associate an existing user to each of the process roles.
4. Enter a callback URL.
5. Under Settings, keep the default settings for Execution mode.
6. Choose Execute.

If the callable object functions correctly, the global unique ID (GUID) for the process instance is displayed as output parameter.

You can use the GUID in the GetProcessInfo and GetProcessResult operations to check the status of the process or to get its result.

1. To activate the callable object after you have tested it, choose (Activate) in the object's design time.

You have exposed the web service as a callable object in Guided Procedures, and have created an active instance of it. Now it can be attached to an action and used in process templates to start the Order Office Material Process.
