3. Enter the server URL in Request URL.
4. Enter the Header parameters as shown in the following table:

   Table 5-1 JSON Request Header Parameters

   No.	Header Name	Header Value	Description
   1	username	Enter the user name to login to the server.	This value is used for user authentication.
   2	password	Enter the password to login to the server.	This value is used for user authentication.
   3	content-type	Select or enter application/json.	This value denotes that the data in JSON format.
   4	accept	Select or enter application/json.	This value denotes that the data in JSON format

5. Select application/json for Body content type.
6. Enter the JSON message in the body. The following code sample is an example:

   {
   "type": "DIM_ACCOUNT",
   "domain": "FRA",
    
   
   "appId": "OFS_IPE",
   "runtype": 1,
   "runParam": 1, "attributes": {
   "Account Skey": 181, "Account Description": "ABC"
   },
   "additionalParams": {}
   }

   {
   "type": <ACTIVITY Table>, "domain": <Processing Segment>, "appId": <Product ID>, "runtype": 1,
   "runParam": 1, "attributes":
   {
   <Required attributes/Business Column names of activity table>:
   <Values>
   },
   "additionalParams": {}
   }
   

7. Send the JSON message from the client to the server. The server provides a response message with values for successful posting or for errors, if any.
