Appian Version: v7.5
I am consuming a web service using a!WsConfig. When I call a method called GetMerchant to fetch latest data on Merchant object. One of the field is called LastModifiedDate which holds date and time value. I am supposed to send the same value with out any changes to my next call of UpdateMerchant. Surprisingly there is a random 3 milliseconds difference in the value I am getting from and value I am sending. What could explain this. Becasue of this difference, the next service is giving me an error (this is typical Microsoft CRUD design).
Data from GetMerchant
<LastModifiedDate xmlns="schemas.afsimage.com/.../LastModifiedDate>
Data to UpdateMerchant:
<n2:LastModifiedDate xmlns:n2="schemas.afsimage.com/.../n2:LastModifiedDate>

Any help is appreciated....

Vencat are you using the appian now() function to generate that timestamp? Couldn't you store the result of the now() expression into a local variable or a process variable?

This value is generated by the external server and I am not supposed to modify the value even by 3 miiliseconds

You get the timestamp back, store it into a pv! and then call the next service - how can the value differ? Maybe I didn't get this clearly

Where is the timestamp generated? At the MS side? Server side? I don't see how the value could possibly change between 'generated' and 'sent' value. You need to investigate the source of the difference that would help you resolve the issue.

If this is a brokered service, please check if the alteration happened in the ESB

venkats533 Were you able to find a solution to address the issue? We are facing a similar issue but it is intermittent.

I'd suggest creating a new post on this - this thread is very old and it's very likely the original poster does not remember much about this issue.
