Hi Naveen,

It sounds like you've exposed the Process in the System tab and confirmed you can access it using http://localhost:8181/ws/ (following the guidance provided in our Web Services Guide available on our Portal). However, it also sounds like you're trying to externally invoke this Process using a web service call after it has been exposed as a SOAP web service.

These types of services are normally invoked by using a special tool (3rd-party to Blue Prism) or by writing custom code. As a first step, we would recommend you review this "Web Service Testing: A Beginner's Tutorial" Guide which should contain all of the information you need to get started using your exposed web service.

In addition, you can review these related links for more information on this topic:

Testing a Web Service in SoapUI
Invoking a Web Service from C#

In summary, there is not a "built-in" way within Blue Prism to trigger/start a Process using a web service, hence why this information is not included in our Web Services Guide. You will likely need to use a 3rd-party tool or implement some custom code to do this.

If you have additional questions regarding this subject, we would recommend you post your specific requirements for this in this thread so others here in the Community may be able to provide their suggestions on how to design this.

Hi Steve Boggs,

Thanks for your reply, i got the solution i have un checked the checkbox.

After that successfully creating the sessions and running the sessions from Http interface.
Now i am facing another issue, by using Get method everything working fine but by using Post method i am not able to accessing.
I know how to expose process/object as webservice and how to consume the web service.
Now i want to work with http post method i have followed this Link no luck there is no response from BP, while using Get method atleast BP is showing some error message if i send any commands wrongly.
Is there any documentation or demo available for to interact with Http interface.

Thanks,
Naveen
