Web Services

eltonr
An application is using web services and can be accessed by getPro.aspx and listPro.aspx (URL: server:port/.../getPro.aspx)
Using tools like postman, we can access (post and retrieve) the web services without authentication or any further attributes other than the URL.
If we do a get, we can pass parameters to get specific information.
1. How could I use these in Appian Web Service Smart service or HTTP Query Smart service or scripting.
a. retrieve information (GET) from the web service
b. post information (POST) from Appian to the web service

2. set up a web service listener in Appian to accept data posted by the other application web service which triggers
a. Save to database
b. Initiate a process model

    For second point -
    1) You can publish your process model as webservice which external system will call to send data. This way your process first node will be saving data in DB and then invoke your business process.
    2) You can create a web api which has logic to initiate a process model and it will be exposed as REST service which can be invoked from external systems.
    3) Create a process model which has a recursive timer event of 1 hour which invokes the external system and fetches data in batch and initiates the process model.
    4) Or May be write a JMS message from external system and create a receive message event in Appian which will receive message and initiate process model.
