There are 2 questions here

1. After we select Login service, inputs fields are disabled which leads to no inputs while running the service

2. for the Get Connection service, enter the connection ID in the Connection ID - not which connection Id is referred here. (is it the Id value under UserInfo in json output of login Rest API or other value)

Hi Ravichethan,

Please find the response below:
1. The input values will be taken from the app connection. You can’t override the input values in the Login service step. This behavior is as designed. You can proceed with step 4.
2. We're glad to let you know that we addressed your feedback on this page.
You can use the connection ID that you get by invoking a process that contains the List Connections service.
Thanks,
Informatica Documentation team

I have tried the suggestion but unable to procced with the Login service, I keep getting the same error mentioned below. I did not find any KB article as well so posting it again here. My process is valid and I have followed all the steps given in documentation.

{"error":{"code":500,"detail":{"reason":"{\"error\":{\"code\":null,\"message\":\"API request does not contain a valid INFA-SESSION-ID. Please verify your request.\",\"requestId\":\"8dhJchKZxcJltRZCLn5hyy\",\"details\":null}}","code":"HTTP_401"},"message":"{\"error\":{\"code\":null,\"message\":\"API request does not contain a valid INFA-SESSION-ID. Please verify your request.\",\"requestId\":\"8dhJchKZxcJltRZCLn5hyy\",\"details\":null}}"}}

I would suggest to look into Informatica KB to understand the difference with the login URL provided in connection is different from using in Postman.
