Send Web Service

Use this process step to send the agreement messages as a web service to an external resource. The message should be formatted according to SOAP specifications. EC XML Transform, XSL Transform, or Apply Envelope processes can be used to achieve this formatting.

Before you can use Send Web Service, you must set up the Web Service Definition. You set this up in PA menu > Manage > Web Service Definitions.
