Add web service variables
Assign a name for the variable and enter the “Path“. The variables can now be imported using the “Browse” button or the path of the desired node is known and can be entered manually.
For the JSON format, sub-nodes are separated from the main node with a dot (.).
Individual elements in an array are accessed with curly brackets and by specifying the index X. ([X])
The path for accessing the variable marked in the graphic should serve as an illustration:
Path: SIT.ELIT[1].UTILITATIS
When importing variables, you can select the data type in which the selected variables are to be imported.
Only one data type can be selected for each variable import. If variable A is to be imported as a string and variable B as a Boolean, the import process must be repeated for each variable.
If both variables are to be imported as the same data type, this can be done at once.
The variables for the web service data source have been successfully created and can now be used.
Web service address syntax for quick entry
Web service variables can also be added with a quick entry.
A variable with a single field entry can be created here using the correct syntax.
In general, the following syntax applies to web service addresses:
- [Data type] [Path]
Data types:
| Abbreviation | Description |
| X | Boolean |
| I1 | Byte |
| I2 | Short |
| I4 | Integer |
| I8 | Long |
| F | Float |
| D | Double |
| S | String |
