initiating a web service file from a ilogic rule

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I have a external ilogic rule that creates a text file from a idw....no problems there.

I recieved a web service file from our IT department. it has a .wsdl extension.

I need to initiate this web service file from my external rule. Basically once the text file is created the webservice file would be initiated.

Any ideas how to add this .wsdl file to my ilogic rule? I would assume i need to create a reference to it somehow

thanks

Hi,

My understanding is that the wsdl file simply describes the interface of the service you are trying to reach:

Visual Studio can generate the necessary code from such files:

Probably the best would be if all the necessary functionality would be inside a .NET project that creates a dll and you would reference that from your iLogic rule.

Cheers,
