Q: What is the Analyzer?
A: The Web Services Analyzer allows
you to quickly and easily:
-
View the Web service in a graphical tree structure
-
Enter inputs and easily see the data results in a tabular or tree format
-
View the WSDL
The Analyzer executes the Web service dynamically and automatically parses the
Web services Description Language (WSDL) to determine the data requirements,
data structure, and expected behavior of the Web service. No additional
software or compiling is required.
Simply enter your inputs and immediately see the outputs in a familiar tabular
or tree format. The results are provided in a tree-based graphical browser for
viewing the input and output data structures of the Web service both before and
after execution.

Q: What are some Analyzer tips?
A: The following are some tips to help you utilize the Analyzer more
effectively:
-
Make sure you have entered a valid WSDL.
-
Look at the tree structure to determine if license information is required to
access the Web service – that could be a UserID and Password, a License Key or
some other type of licensing scheme.
-
Look at the tree structure and identify the Input Fields.
-
If the invocation fails check for the following:
-
License information missing or invalid
-
Input format incorrect – e.g., character case, type of delimiters
-
Additional input was required – e.g., Boolean expression, some type of
classification input, or source identification
-
Did the access fail because the Web service was not available
-
Did the access fail because the WSDL was not valid
