Web Service call to BPM to call another Web Service - all synch

[Former Member]

HI all,

I have a webservice call to GetDocument from external system. In BPM I like to call another ws (SearchDocument) to retrieve metadata, which I need to complete the first GetDocument webservice. All synch if possible.

Any idea how to achieve this with (or mayby without) BPM ??

HI,

You are trying to add two Synchornous communications in the BPM,

If you are sendeing the requests to bothe WS seperately then you can do it sequencially in BPM.

But if you are trying to send request to 2nd WS beofre getting the response of 1st WS then, probably its not possible.

Even in Sync to Async communciation also at a time only one call is possible

Thanks

Thanks for your reply. Can you elaborate on that a bit more ?

My first WS call is to get a document..but because I need to add some metadata in order to have a succesful call I need to call another WS first to the same system to get the required metadata. Then I need to use this metadata to complete the first - GetDocument- call....

Hope this clarifies the scenario...

Is it maybe possible to do this another way..in sequence..using response data to populate another ws call ??

all help appreciated !

cheers,
