Re: Question on using the HTTPAPI to receive a GUID
John,
If I understand you correctly, the site is just returning a GUID (global
unique ID) instead of the result. A GUID is just a character string
with a unique identifier in it. So you just get back this string, and
then make another request with the GUID to get the result. I haven't
done it, but based on your description, it sounds very simple.
I doubt very much that someone else has done exactly what you're trying
to do here, since this is not a commonplace thing, and it's unlikely
that someone would've done it with the exact syntax that your server is
using, as your server sounds like it's doing something rather custom.
Can't you just try a few requests and see what it's returning and figure
it out? Is there no documentation or explanation anywhere for this SQL
server web service you're working with?

I have a question that I am hoping someone out there has done before or
can point me in the correct direction. At our company we need to send
data to a new SQL server database that will take the formatted data as
XML by doing a POST to a web service URL address. Our iSeries is at
V7R1M0.
To create the XML we are using the CGIDEV2 to create our XML by using
templates. And this part is working great to create the XML with no
issues. Then to perform the POST to the URS we are using the HTTPAPI
from Scott Klement. This part is also working great.
We now need to get data back from the SQL server. The issues is we
need to POST to a URL which will give us back a GUID. This GUID will
be used to do another POST to retrieve the XML from the SQL server
database that will be processed in our back end programs on the
iSeries.
I am not sure if the HTTPAPI allows retrieving a GUID. I have done
numerous searches online and I have not found anything relating to how
to make this work. So I am asking if anyone knows how to do this, or
could point me in the right direction of some other API or process to
make this work for us.
Thank you for your help,
John
