Parameter transfer with return values to external webservice

[shyam_uthaman]

Hi All,

We have a requirement whereby we need to transfer a set of parameters from a HANA table to an external WebService which in turn processes the data and returns another set of fields as output.

This output needs to be written back to 2 other tables.

We need to understand the best possible way to achieve this. This should be a scheduled periodic job.

The external web service is called Melissa (http://www.melissadata.com/) – primarily used for address data processing.

Please let me know of your thoughts on the approach best suited for this scenario.

Thank you for your time.

In order to create connectivity to other WebServices, I'd say creating ODATA Services are the obvious choice.

Any reason not to use that functionality?

Hi Lars,

I was told by one of my colleagues that passing parameters to a webservice for data processing and getting back results can be done by XSJS which can be then scheduled using the XS dashboard.

Let me know if you see any concerns with this.

Regards,

Shyam

Why would I?

If that works for you that should be OK, n'est pas?
