Executing an Integration Server Service
To execute an Integration Server service
1. In My webMethods: Administration > Integration > Managed File Transfer > Event Management.
3. Click the tab containing the event for which you are creating the file operation action (Post-Processing Events or Scheduled Events).
4. Select the event in the event list.
5. In the Actions section, click the Select Action list.
6. In the resulting dialog box, do the following:
a. Click the Select Category list and select Execute Integration Server Service.
b. Click the Package box and select the Integration Server package that contains the service you want to execute.
c. Click the Service box and select the service you want to execute.
d. Click OK.
7. In the Source Filter box, enter the name of the file whose transfer will trigger this event. By default, ActiveTransfer Server considers all files.
Note: | You can use wildcard characters to filter the file names. For example, enter *.zip to trigger the event only when zip files are uploaded or downloaded. To trigger an event based on a name string in the zip files, use the name string in the Source Filter box, preceded and followed by wildcard characters. For example, enter *invoice*.zip to trigger the event based on the file URLs, when zip files containing the character string invoice in their file names are uploaded or downloaded. If you define a Source Filter for an action, the action acts only on the files that are filtered out. |
8. If you want to use regular expression in the source filter, specify a valid regular expression in Source Filter and select Use regular expression.
Examples for regular expressions:
(.(?!purchaseorder))* | Excludes files with the file URL containing purchaseorder |
.*/out/.* | Include files with the file URL containing the folder out |
^abc(.*)123$ | Includes anything that starts with abc and ends with 123. Matches abc123, abcxyz123, but not abcxyz123def |
NEW-((*.doc)|(*_backup_*)) | Includes anything starting with NEW- that either ends in .doc, or is followed by the string _backup_ |
9. In the Configure input to IS service section, specify values for the input parameters of the service that you select . For more information about the Integration Server services and their signatures, see the Integration Server documentation.
You can directly enter the values for the input parameters or specify a file path variable, {path} that contains the value to be passed to the parameter.
10. In the Extract Service Output section, list the variables that you want to assign to the output parameters of the service and the path (iData path) of the output parameter.
11. Select the Execute action even if there are no files option if you want to execute the action even when no files are passed on to this action from the previous action. For example, you might have a requirement to trigger an Integration Server service from a scheduled event after all the files in a folder have been successfully deleted. Another example could be invoking an Integration Server service for audit purposes even if there are no files available to be processed.
12. If you want to execute an error action if the file operation fails, select Execute error action.
13. Click Save.
14. If you selected the Execute error action check box, define an error action as described in Defining an Error Action. 15. If you are finished defining actions for this event, activate the event as described in Activating an Event. Result:
The “Execute an Integration Server Service” action, runs the specified Integration Server service for each file in the list that is passed on to the action by the previous action. This action does not modify the list of files from the previous action.
