Data service
Data from one or several API transactions is retrieved by a data service. Through a data
service, you can copy, retrieve, update, or delete data. You can also use API transactions in
sequence. This means that you can use a transaction’s output as another transaction's
input.
Note:Â Both transactions must be in the same data service for the
sequence to work.
