Service Wizard: Customize Service Data

In the third step of the wizard, select 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 in previous steps of this wizard. Each property reference that you select becomes part of the request or response data for the generated service rule.

Click + to expand the list of property references. Select the check box next to each property reference that you want the service to use. If a property is required, its check box is automatically selected and cannot be cleared.

After making your selections, click Next.

Field Description
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 that 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 wizard 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 displays if you selected Create and Manage Work on the Select Service Purpose form.

Select this 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.
