This scenario invokes the Asynch Order Service web service. Before
running the scenario, review this step-by-step synopsis of its data
flow.
- A CLIENT_ASYNCH_TLO_Order.Create event originates in the
application SampleSAP running in one instance of the Test
Connector.
- The event is sent from SampleSAP to the collaboration
CLIENT_ASYNCH_Order_Collab.
- The event is then sent from the collaboration to the Web Services
connector.
- The Web Services connector finds the CLIENT_ASYNCH_Order object
that is a child of the CLIENT_ASYNCH_TLO_Order object.
- The Request business object is converted into a SOAP message using the
SOAP data handler.
- The Web Services connector sends the SOAP Message to the end-point
(Destination) of the web service Asynch Order Service. The end-point is
provided by the Destination attribute of the Protocol Config Meta-Object
(MO). The Protocol Config MO used by the connector depends on the value
of the Handler attribute of CLIENT_ASYNCH_TLO_Order. If it
is set to soap/http, the Destination attribute of
CLIENT_ASYNCH_Order_SOAP_HTTP_CfgMO will give the end-point as the
URL of the web service. Otherwise if the Handler attribute is set to
soap/jms, the Destination attribute of
CLIENT_ASYNCH_Order_SOAP_JMS_CfgMO gives the end-point as a
destination queue name.
- The Asynch Order Service web service receives the SOAP request. As
mentioned earlier, the Web Services connector is the end-point for this web
service. The connector's protocol listener, listening on the
end-point (to which the request was sent), receives the SOAP message.
- The connector converts the SOAP message into
SERVICE_ASYNCH_Order and then creates a
SERVICE_TLO_Order object. The
SERVICE_ASYNCH_Order object is set as a child of the
SERVICE_TLO_Order object.
- The Web Services connector now asynchronously posts the
SERVICE_TLO_Order object to ICS. This completes the
asynchronous web service invocation.
Because this is an asynchronous web service (request-only), no response
is sent back to the web service client. When
SERVICE_ASYNCH_Order_Collab receives this object, the collaboration
then sends the business object to the application
namedSampleSiebel, which is running as the second instance of Test
Connector. The object is displayed in the Test Connector. When
Reply Success is selected from theSampleSiebel application, the
event will be sent back to SERVICE_ASYNCH_Order_Collab.
To run the asynchronous scenario:
- Start your InterChange Server integration broker, if it is not already
running.
- Start the Web Services connector.
- Start two instances of the Test Connector.
- Using the Test Connector, define a profile for the
SampleSAPConnector and the SampleSiebelConnector.
- Select FILE"CONNECT AGENT from each Test Connector menu to
begin simulating agents.
- While simulating the SampleSAPConnector using the Test
Connector, select EDIT"LOAD BO from the menu. Load the
following file:
WBI_folder\connectors\WebServices\samples\WebSphereICS\OrderStatus
\CLIENT_ASYNCH_TLO_Order.bo
The Test Connector should show that the
CLIENT_ASYNCH_TLO_Order is loaded.
- Verify the web services end-point address:
- For SOAP/HTTP web service If you want to use SOAP/HTTP:
- Make sure you have configured the Web Services connector for
SOAP/HTTP. In your Test Connector, make sure that the value of the
Handler attribute for the CLIENT_ASYNCH_TLO_Order business object
is set to soap/http. No quotes are allowed in this
value.
- Expand the Request attribute of CLIENT_ASYNCH_TLO_Order.
This attribute is of type CLIENT_ASYNCH_Order business
object.
- Expand the SOAPHTTPCfgMO attribute of
CLIENT_ASYNCH_Order. This attribute is of type
CLIENT_ASYNCH_Order_SOAP_HTTP_CfgMO.
- Make sure the value of the Destination attribute of
CLIENT_ASYNCH_Order_SOAP_HTTP_CfgMO is set to
http://localhost:8080/wbia/webservices/samples.
No quotes are allowed in this value.
- For SOAP/HTTPS web service If you want to use SOAP/HTTPS:
- Make sure that you have configured the Web Services connector for
SOAP/HTTPS. In your Test Connector, make sure that the value of the
Handler attribute for the CLIENT_ASYNCH_TLO_Order business object
is set to soap/http. No quotes are allowed in this
value.
- Expand the Request attribute of CLIENT_ASYNCH_TLO_Order.
This attribute is of type CLIENT_ASYNCH_Order business
object.
- Expand the SOAPHTTPCfgMO attribute of
CLIENT_ASYNCH_Order. This attribute is of type
CLIENT_ASYNCH_Order_SOAP_HTTP_CfgMO.
- Make sure the value of the Destination attribute of
CLIENT_ASYNCH_Order_SOAP_HTTP_CfgMO is set to
https://localhost:8443/wbia/webservices/samples.
No quotes are allowed in this value.
- For SOAP/JMS web service If you want to use SOAP/JMS:
- Make sure you have configured the Web Services connector for
SOAP/JMS. In your Test Connector, make sure that the value of the
Handler attribute of the CLIENT_ASYNCH_TLO_Order business object is
set to soap/jms. No quotes are allowed in this value.
- Expand the Request attribute of CLIENT_ASYNCH_TLO_Order.
This attribute is of type CLIENT_ASYNCH_Order business
object.
- Expand the SOAPJMSCfgMO attribute of
CLIENT_ASYNCH_Order. This attribute is of type
CLIENT_ASYNCH_Order_SOAP_JMS_CfgMO.
- Make sure the value of the Destination attribute of
CLIENT_ASYNCH_Order_SOAP_JMS_CfgMO is set to
ORDER_INPUT. No quotes are allowed in this value.
- While simulating the SampleSAPConnector with the Test
Connector, click on the loaded Test BO. Select
REQUEST"SEND from the menu. See the step-by-step
synopsis earlier in this section for more details regarding the flow of the
event.
- While simulating the SampleSiebelConnector with the Test
Connector, select REQUEST"ACCEPT REQUEST. An Event
Labeled SERVICE_ASYNCH_TLO_Order.Create is displayed in the
right panel of the Test Connector.
- Double-click the business object. The business object opens up in a
window.
- Expand the Request attribute of the business object. The Request
attribute is of type SERVICE_ASYNCH_Order. Inspect the
OrderId, Customarily and other attributes of SERVICE_ASYNCH_Order
to verify the Order received. This completes the execution of
asynchronous scenario.
- Once you have inspected the business object, close the window.
Select REQUEST "REPLY" SUCCESS.
