Consuming the Web Service Using a Third-Party Application
Consuming the Web Service falls within the customer organization's responsibility. A developer from the customer's organization has to consume the RTGeneralService.
To consume the RTGeneralService:
| 1. | Verify that Real-Time Client 4.9.6 or higher is installed on the client’s computer. See Installing RT Client API Using Silent Installation, and Advanced Process Automation Client and Designer Installation Guide. |
| 2. | Navigate to RTDesigner installation folder or to the RTClient installation folder, which contains the RTGeneralService.zip file. |
| 3. | Use the WSDL and XSD files in the RTGeneralService.zip file to generate a client. |
You can also consume the RTGeneralService by adding a web reference to http://localhost:8080/RTGeneralService?wsdl while the RTClient is running.
| 4. | The RTGeneralService contains two operations: |
string SetCustomerInfo( Customer customer )
To invoke the SetCustomerInfo operation, you need to provide a Customer instance.
The expected result is: "Success" for successful invocation, "Failure" otherwise.
string SetGeneralInfo( GeneralInfo generalInfo )
To invoke the SetGeneralInfo operation, you need to provide a GeneralInformation instance. The expected result is: "Success" for successful invocation, "Failure" otherwise.
