Workflow Web Service Tutorial

Removed from output and from searches pending re-write; needs more explanation and details of the actual workflow.

This tutorial creates a workflow (CLCommentFromExternal) that is published as a web service. It allows a third party system (Evolution) to add a comment (CommentDescription) to an issue that is identified by the third party's reference (ExternalRef). The application's default language (AppDefaultLanguage) is supplied for language translations.

For basic configuration details see Workflow Web Services

Configuring the new workflow web service

View Parameters

The View Parameters button displays workflow inputs and outputs:

Service details

After saving the new workflow web service details, it appears in the list on the Workflow Web Services page.

REST details

To review the REST details, select the service and click Rest Detail.

Token-based authentication: All requests to a Dreamscape workflow web service must include a security token obtained by sending an HTTP POST request header with username and password like this:

http://workflowrest.<Domain>/ my company name/workflow/gettoken?userName=<username>&password=<password>

Workflow management page

The source workflow shows the Is Service flag set.

Note | If you unpublish a workflow that is the source of a workflow web service, and then republish it, the Is Service flag does not show set unless you open the workflow web service with its editor and save it (with no changes).
