Is it possible to call a webservice directly from the LAN client? I have web service like  http://localhost:1229/Token.asmx?op=Add .

My web method name is Add.I want to acces this web service  nad call this method from Saleslogix Architect .

Please help me.Thanks in advance.

Yes, you can call a web service from a SLX script. SLX scripts are just VBScript. So you can create objects such as XMLHttp to make the calls. If you google "call web service from vbscript" any of those examples you'll find will work in a SLX script just fine. https://www.google.com/search?btnG=1&pws=0&q=call+web+service+from+vbscript&gws_rd=ssl

Hi Mani,

You will need to edit this code to meet your requirements but it should act as a good starting point. I have used this in the past to query a web service and return a response (this will be set to HTTPPost). 

You may also need to write an additional function to handle the response you get back depending on what your service is returning. Also note that HTTPPost uses a POST request, if you need to perform a GET then just change this value in the function (I have not tried this myself so can't say for sure if it'll work).

Sub QueryWebService
 

Dim postURL, strQueryString, httpResponse

 

 postURL = "http://localhost:1229/Token.asmx"

 strQueryString = "op=Add"

 Set httpResponse = HTTPPost(postURL, strQueryString)

 

End Sub

 

Function HTTPPost(sUrl, sRequest)

Dim oHTTP

 

    set oHTTP = CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")

    oHTTP.open "POST", sUrl,false

    oHTTP.setRequestHeader "Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"

    oHTTP.setRequestHeader "Content-Length", Len(sRequest)

    oHTTP.send sRequest

    HTTPPost = oHTTP.responseText

 

End Function

Hope this helps.
