    Need help in understanding how to use WebService and XML activities in PF integrator. For example, how can I use amazon webservice to retrieve and present data? I've googled and searched in Lawson and Lawsonguru with no luck. 

    Thanks in advance

      I have used the WebService node to access WSDL-based services (e.g. for currency exhange rates via http://www.webservicex.com), but have not tried anything from Amazon. Once you point it at the WSDL URL, the WebService figures out the inputs and outputs; which you map from/to ProcessFlow variables.

        Hi John,  It is okay if you can please help me understand with currency exhange rates via http://www.webservicex.com using webservices.

        I was able to view the inputs and output element names with the WebService node; I wasn't able to figure out on how to map from/to ProcessFlow variables or may be send the result to an email or view on screen.

        Thank you.

          You need to map variables into the inputs of the web service:

           

          Then use the outputs from the webservice as inputs to a subsequent node:

           

          The outputs from the webservice are XML nodes, separated by some delimiters
