Running a Workflow using the
Run Web Service Action
If you have LiveCompare Editor privileges,
workflows may be registered as Web Services and then called from a workflow
using the Run Web Service action. To run a workflow using the Run Web
Service action, carry out the following steps:
Select the appropriate output types if required.
Click ‘Next >’ then ‘Finish’.
Complete the Run Web Service
action by creating parameters and datasets for the additional action properties.
Run the workflow and examine
the contents of its output datasets.
When a workflow is executed as a Web Service, it is run
in a workspace that is automatically created by LiveCompare. If the workflow
runs without error, the Web Service workspace is deleted when the workflow
finishes. If an error occurs in the Web Service workflow, its workspace
will not be deleted. If LiveCompare is project-controlled,
Web Service workspaces will not be shown in the LiveCompare hierarchy
until they are added to one or more projects.
