Service Accelerator: Customize Service Data

The Customize Service Data form lets you choose property references for data that is used by the service. The property references are derived from the work, activity, or data classes that you selected on previous forms. Each property reference you select becomes part of the request or response data for the generated service rule.

Click + to expand the list of property references.

Description

Property Reference Check Boxes

Select the check boxes next to the property references that you want the service to use. If a property is required, its check box is automatically selected and cannot be cleared.

Use XML for Mapping Data

Creates an XML mapping rule that maps each property that you select from the following Input Properties or Output Properties section to or from a stream of XML tags. The XML tags have the same names as the properties that they map to.

The type of mapping rule that is created depends upon the service type you are generating and whether the XML data is part of the request (inbound data) or the response (outbound data).

  • For a SOAP service, this option creates a data transform for both request and response data. The data transform uses XML page semantics that are specific to SOAP services.
  • For any other type of service, this option generates XML parse rules for request data and XML stream rules for response data.

If you do not select this check box, the Accelerator adds a data mapping field for the selected property to the Request and Response tabs of the generated service rules.

Return Process Info XML

This check box appears if you chose Create and Manage Work on the Select Service Purpose form. Select the check box to return an XML stream that contains information about the state of the work process. The information includes the state of the work item and the assignment, and the list of actions that can be performed next.

After making your selections, click Next.
