Testing the Service Connector

When you use the service connector editor, click

Test

to send a request to the service and display the response data on the

Test

tab:

Generate Process Objects
: Click to see the process objects that you have defined for the service connector.

Result
: Displays the status of the test.

HTTP Status
: Displays the HTTP status code.

URL
: Displays the URL where test data was sent. Any query parameters are added to the URL shown here.

Output
and Value
: Shows the data returned from the service that is assigned to the variables defined on the

Output

tab. If you are using XSLT, it is used to extract the data from the payload.

Response Payload
: Shows the payload sent to Process Designer from the service (not the full response sent by the service).

REST Request
: Shows the data sent to the service from Process Designer.

If you select the

Enforce Multipart Request

check box in the binding properties, the

REST Request

tab includes

multipart/form-data

as the value in the header.

REST Response
: Shows all of the data sent back to the Process Designer from the service (whereas the response payload is only a portion of the returned data).

Here, you can see the differences between the payload, request, and response data (for illustration purposes only; the actual test results display only request or
response data):

If the response includes one or more attachments, you can also download the attachments. The following image shows a multipart response with options to download all the attachments:

Generate Process Objects

A process object is usually tied to a specific set of elements. You may sometimes have a large number of identical objects, each of which applies to one set of elements. For example, when you define the data being returned, you create a process object whose sole purpose is to define a subset of returned data. These objects are non-reusable
and can only be used by a single process object field. The object names are also the name of a field.

You can also create objects that are reusable
. For example, the refType element in NetSuite has two fields: a name and an internalID. Instead of creating many objects, each of which contains these two fields, you can create a single, reusable process object.

Click Generate Process Objects
to show the process objects that you have defined for the service connector.

Select the process objects that you want to make reusable and then click Next
.

Process Designer displays a list of generated process objects.
