URL -vs- URI Formating

[Former Member]

I have the following URL calling a BLS transaction passing variable data:

http://<SERVERNAME>/Lighthammer/Runner?Transaction=<PROGRAMPATH>/<PROGRAMNAME>&TagName=ksc_pastedbtm...

This works great.

The third party vendor wants to use a URI. I reformatted my above to :

http://<SERVERNAME>/Lighthammer/WSDLGen/<PROGRAMPATH>/<PROGRAMNAME>?TagName=brad_tag_name,DateTimeSt...

When I run this on the web, it fires the program but the variables are not coming across.

Can anyone help me out with the syntax please?

But aren't these two fundamentally similar (URL & URI)?

The second URL would generate a WSDL for a Web Service Analyser to consume.

I don't think it can work the way you want it to (I may be wrong) , as in passing the params with the URL (Runner would be the way to go forward with this approach).

So what you are saying is that under the WSDL format I cannot pass any parameters to the BLS?

[Former Member]

You can but as far as I know , not with the URL.

With the WSDL gen you need an application that understands & analyses the WSDL such that it can break it up in input & response params.

Hi Udayan,

Can you tell me what is that Response Params in web service, When i tried doing in Link Editor I got only Input Params of called Trasaction.So that you can Pass values from this webservice to that called transaction's input param.

Thanks
