HTTP Post Method

The Data Integration Service uses the HTTP Post method to send data to a REST web service. The web service determines the actual function that the Post method performs. You might use the Post method to create a resource or a collection of resources.

When you configure the REST Web Service Consumer transformation to use the Post method, you configure the input ports, the method input, the method output, and the output ports.

Example

You want to post new part 501 to the HypoStores products database. The web service uses the following URL for part 501:

http://www.HypoStores.com/products/ProductDetails/501

Enter the following base URL:

http://www.HypoStores.com/products/ProductDetails

The following table shows the input ports that you might define:

Port Type	Port Name	Input Value
URL	URL_Part_No	501
Input	Part_Desc	ACME ball point pens, 12-pk, black, 0.5 mm
Input	Price_USD	9.89

The following table shows the output ports that you might define:

Port Type	Port Name	Return Value
Output	Response	<Response returned by the web service>
