Example: I want to call a web service in SOAP UI with some parameters(process name for example or process id) and when the call finishes a process to starten-USTelligent Community 12https://community.appian.com/thread/21980?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 01 Sep 2015 12:43:18 GMTd3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:2a447ab3-388a-4306-acb0-84514f6fa8f9georgec890Thanks a lot.

Just watch out for special characters in the XML and make sure they are escaped correctly.<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.appian.com/thread/21925?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 31 Aug 2015 17:00:17 GMTd3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:eff6aff2-a021-4cbc-8cec-3e407a72b2c9Rajiv RahulHi Georgec,<br />1. The input parameters that you had given for the process model also appears in the SOAP UI as parameters, where you can pass their values.<br />2. No you cannot use custom data types as input parameters for the process model which is published as web-service. <br />One alternative is: you can take a single parameter of type text for your process model and while passing values from soap ui, you can pass multiple values(of say your CDT) delimited by &#39;,&#39; . And you can just split this comma separated string in to individual values in your process model and then map those values to the different fields of your CDT in process model.<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.appian.com/thread/21920?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 31 Aug 2015 14:31:58 GMTd3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:6dda9426-b10f-40b5-a11d-3d4358d85ba5georgec890Hy guys,<br />That is a good starting point. I tested using SOAPUI and it works great. Two questions:<br />1. How can I pass parameters in the SOAPUI? <br />2. Can I use custom data types, because it shows me that I can&#39;t. Is there any workaround? Thanks for the help, highly appreciated.<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.appian.com/thread/21918?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 31 Aug 2015 12:36:41 GMTd3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:2b435d34-592c-40fb-863a-7232f792f45fsonalkHi Georgec,<br />Refer the links below :<br /><a href="https://forum.appian.com/suite/help/7.10/Publishing_Process_Models_as_Web_Services.html">forum.appian.com/.../Publishing_Process_Models_as_Web_Services.html</a><br /><a href="/search?q=OriginalPostID-142328">forum.appian.com/.../e-142328</a><br />Hope it helps.<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.appian.com/thread/21917?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 31 Aug 2015 12:35:18 GMTd3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:ddb269ba-90c3-4b15-9d6f-9e48b6629730chetanyYou can expose your process model as a web service. Then you can use it in SOAP UI and call it. You can also pass parameters to it. When you call the web service, the process model will start. In the output, you will get the processId of the process started.
