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
