The Try-It application is a client application that you can use to run a real-time or batch web service operation listed in the Web Services Hub Console. Use the Try-It application to test a valid web service operation and view the results on the Web Services Hub Console. You can use the Try-It application if you are unsure what parameters are required in the input message or you want to view the response for a specific input message.

You can use the Try-It application to run a web service or call an operation without needing to download the WSDL and generate the client proxy classes for a client application. You can view the response on the console and determine how a client application should process the response from the web service.

You can test a valid real-time web service application or a batch web service operation. You cannot use the Try-It application to test a web service with a WSDL that contains a SOAP attachment.

Protected real-time web services require authentication. To test a protected web service operation, provide a valid user name token to log in to the PowerCenter repository.
