Sean, There is a 202 HTTP Result Code available for use in those situations where an immediate reply may not be available/practical. 202 means the data was received, but the result will be coming in a later message. The problem with using this type of interface is keeping track of everything to tie up all the loose ends, how to keep transactions in the proper order, when to do retransmits, etc. But, in some situations its better than having your threads tied up waiting for a response.
I have this type of connection set up with a business partner. Be aware of Remedy "bugs" on AR System versions 7.0.1 patch 004 and beyond where axis handling of this result code changed. The bug is supposedly fixed in 7.5 patch 1 AR System and there is a workaround available for 7.0.1 AR System(use the axis.jar file from 7.0.1 patch 003 or before - I use 6.3 axis.jar). I am unsure if there is a workaround available for 7.1 AR System.

So, the first thing i see is a very slight delay in the update or error message coming back so as this is a 'real-time' web service, has anyone any thoughts as to what issues may be on the horizon as the filter obviously waits for the reply to come back through the output mapping ? I suppose this can be best described as a synchronous solution instead of an async-solution, where the outbound transaction is sent, and then the response is processed "when" and "if" it comes back. Does anyone have any thoughts on my sync/async comments and whether async is actually possible or worth considering. thanks again all, Sean From: Dennis Ruble <ddru...@rockwellcollins.com> To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Sent: Friday, 5 June, 2009 17:27:14 Subject: Re: How do you PUSH to a Web Service ??? ** Sean, I know it isn't intuitive, but you still use the Set Field to do the push. There are 'Input Mappings' and 'Output Mappings' on Set Field using Web Services. When I do my "push" I use 'Input Mappings' to specify what I'm "pushing" and receive my acknowledgement success/failure/error response through 'Output Mappings' fields.

I know that you can set the contents of a field by using a web service to go and extract the data from an external source Example modify entry on a form - this invokes the SET field to read data from WEB SERVICE, use a WSDL to go off, compare and match the Stock Market Symbol and then pull back the results and update the field on the form (Remedy example) But.....my question is, if i wanted to ""PUSH"" the results of a field/s based on an SUBMIT or MODIFY out through a WEB SERVICE, how do i do it ? I want to be able to push data out under certain scenarios to another ticketing system and it will need to be sent to a Web Service. PUSH doesnt have the option to "PUSH value to WEB SERVICE"....you only seem to be able to do a SET FIELD and then "Read Value From" a Web service Am i being blind or just blindly dumb today ??? All help gratefully received.
