HTTP Post Method

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

Part_Desc
ACME ball point pens, 12-pk, black, 0.5 mm

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