[nikesh mohanlal]

Hi ,

Version: 5.5

I have a scenario like this.
We have an external system which has a service doing the job of calculating profit\loss of a company.Can we send data(buy price,sell price and company name) fro OTM to the service in external system; invoke it ,do the calculation and then finally get back the result from the system back to OTM.Al these to be done via Automation agents only.

Also, any documents on sending otm data to an external system with the help of web service.

Please let me know if you need any other details.

Hi Nikesh,

Were you able to resolve this? I am trying to use web service via external system but unable to get it working. I have an external system which calls a web service to pass event xml.

Scenario:
When event is registered on buy shipment, agent is triggered.
Agent is responsible to send intergration to external system.
The external system contains the details of the web service.
No return data is expected by the external system from the service.

Would appreciate if you can share if you have any further breakthrough in the area of web services.

Many thanks,
Shekhar

This is possible. One can define a BPEL process with both outbound (data object of OTM from which you want to extract the data and send as an input to your external system) and inbound (from the external system to OTM Data Object) functionality and create a WSDL in OTM in a web Service.

Do the proper mapping for the Business Object of OTm you have chosen?

In case your external system can understand the XML, it would be more easier.
