Viewing and Editing Service Operation XML

This chapter discusses how to:

• View service operation XML.

• Edit service operation XML.

Understanding Viewing and Editing Service Operation XML

The Service Operations Monitor enables you to view service operation XML for asynchronous service operation instances, asynchronous publication contracts, asynchronous subscription contracts and for synchronous service operation instances.

Note. You can view and edit XML only if you have the appropriate service operation permission.

Asynchronous Service Operation XML

If viewing or editing XML for a publication or subscription contract, the transformed XML appears if any transformations were applied for the publication contract or subscription contract. Use the View XML link or the Edit XML link in the service operation instance section to view and edit the original XML that was received.

Synchronous Service Operation XML

In certain situations, the XML content of a service operation isn’t visible in the Service Operations Monitor. This is because of the way service operation data is logged. Initially, the log data (including the service operation XML) for any transaction is held in system memory.

With synchronous transactions, PeopleSoft Integration Broker retains the log data in memory for a longer period, to allow for certain operations to complete. The delay before you can view the XML content in the Synchronous Details component depends on several factors, including the details of the integration and whether you’re at the sending or the receiving end of the transaction. If you don’t see the service operation XML content right after the service operation was transmitted, exit the Synchronous Details component and wait for a minute, then reopen the service operation and check the XML view again.

Note. For synchronous service operations, to view full service operation details in XML you must set a parameter in the routing definition for the service operation. On the Routing-Routing Definitions page, from the Log Detail drop-down list box select Header and Detail.

Viewing Service Operation XML

You can view the XML for an asynchronous service operation instance, publication contract, subscription contract or synchronous service operation by clicking the View XML link. When you click the link, the IB XML page appears and displays the data in read-only format, as shown in the following example:

Editing Service Operation XML

When an error occurs processing an asynchronous service operation instance, publication contract subscription contract, or synchronous service operation instance, an Edit XML link appears, as shown in the following example:

The page enables you to edit the XML to correct any errors.

To edit XML you must have the appropriate permissions to the service operation and the service operation must have a status of New, Error, Retry, Timeout, Edited or Cancelled.

When you have completed editing the XML click the Save button to save your changes. Click the Return button to return to the Asynchronous Details page.
