Exercise 1 – Start the Integration Server

Key Skills
Start the Integration Server, create a user account, and grant privileges to it
10 minutes
Ta s k
1. Start the Integration server from the command line. Use a debug level of 6 and write
the log to the server window instead of the file system.
2. Create a user account and grant it Administrator, TNAdministrator, and

Developer privileges.
3. Leave the Server running.

! Note: Logging to the screen is intended for demonstration purposes only. In a

production environment, logging should be directed to a persistent store. Logging will
be discussed later in the course.
Ti ps & Tr i ck s
• Command line switches are entered with the “-“ character, as in “-log
none”.
• If you try to log on to the IS Administrator before the server has

completed launching, you will see a browser error display indicating a location
was not found. Wait a few moments and reload the web page.
! Note: The Integration Server uses the Java Run-time Engine to execute the different
services. When you start the server, your system will start an instance of Java (either
java.exe or jre.exe, depending on your JDK). You can view this running process in
Windows by using the Task Manager.

Exercise 2 – Packages, Folders, & Services

Key Skills
Create a package, folders, and an initial service
15 minutes
Ta s k
To begin development, we need a package and folder organization.
 Create a Service to write a hard-coded message to the Server log. Place the
Service in the namespace as indicated below.

 Run the service and confirm successful execution in the server log.
R e qui r e d Da ta
Data Value
Developer logon <youruser> / <yourpassword> <case sensitive>

appropriate security privileges. Change the Administrator and Developer account
passwords as quickly as possible and do not use Administrator other than to create
your own administration account.
• Hit F1 in Developer to get context-sensitive help.

reserved
• Create a new package named D106Exercises for storing your class

development work, and a top-level folder also named D106Exercises. This will
give you a unique location in the Integration Server namespace.
• Select the appropriate parent folder before creating a new folder to ensure
proper nesting.
• To write a message to the log file, you need to browse in the package
WmPublic and find the service pub.flow:debugLog.

Exercise 3 – Input/Output & Document Types

Key Skills
Service Input/Output; create and use document types in Developer
15 minutes
Ta s k
1. Create the exercise folders as indicated below.
2. Create a simple document type with a constraint on one of its fields:
 Create a document type PersonnelEntry in the docs folder using

the indicated structure.
 Set the document field SerialNumber field to have a constraint to

be an Integer.
 Create the Flow Service docInput, using PersonnelEntry as

Input. Ensure that the input is validated.
 Run the Service. Test the constraint by using Strings vs. Numeric
values for SerialNumber. Did you see an error message when using Strings?
3. Secondly, create a document type from an XML file:
 Use a text editor to view the indicated XML file (location listed
below).
 Create the new document type (Department from

department.xml).
4. Finally, use the Developer’s special document-test feature to provide

XML data as input to a Flow Service:
 Create a Flow Service xmlInput (no input/output declarations).
 In this Flow, invoke the service xmlNodeToDocument.

reserved
 Test xmlInput by using “Test…Send XML File” with the

indicated text XML file. Look at the Results panel. Do you see 2 employee
records? During development, the xmlNodeToDocument Service is often added
to Services to simulate real XML data transfer.

Exercise 4a – Building Flow Services: BRANCH

Key Skills
Create business logic using Flow steps
20 minutes
Ta s k
1. Write Branch code to implement the following design. Test using the Step
feature.
Field = testValue input
Value is either true, false, null, or anything else
true false null default
Write these messages to the System Log
2. (Optional) Write Branch code to implement the following design. Test

using Step.
Field1 = account
inputs
Field2 = promoCode
e.g. PRE5AAA
account = starts with PRE0 thu PRE9 promoCode=“123FREE”
default
50% Shipping Discount Full Shipping Free Shipping
Write these messages to the System Log

Loop Step, etc.
• Participant Guide: Flow Services
• IS Developer’s Guide Appendix A: webMethods Flow Steps
• IS Developer’s Guide Appendix D: Conditional Expressions
Ti ps & Tr i ck s
• Make sure your steps are indented properly.
• You can Branch either on a switch variable or set evaluate-labels to

“true” and use conditional expressions in the labels of the target statements.
• The $null child is only used in the second BRANCH because $null only
works with branching on a switch value.
• When you run the services, try the various test values (true, false,
123FREE, PRE0AAA, ABC, etc.) in the input dialog and examine the Results
screen and the console output. Use Step and Step Into commands to
debug your services and watch the execution.

Exercise 4b – Building Flow Services: LOOP

Key Skills
20 minutes
Ta s k
1. Write a LOOP service to count the number of employees in the
department.xml file. Display the result in the System Log
2. Test by running it and providing the input manually
3. (Optional) Test using the “Send XML File” feature.

reserved
R e s our ce s
Loop Step, etc.
Ti ps & Tr i ck s
• Insert Map steps to look at the Pipeline when designing your Flow.
• Map a field by selecting it and without releasing the mouse button,

dragging a line to the target field.
• Note that only objects that are mapped or set will persist in the Pipeline,
and that objects specified in the service output will only appear in the last Flow
step of the service.
• Inside a Loop , the variable specified as the in-array should not

appear as an array, since inside the Loop you are looking at only a single element.
Note that in your MAP statement, the Pipeline In has a field named $iteration
and that within this MAP statement under the LOOP, the
employees/department/employee field appears as a Document and not a
Document List or array.
• Map the count field to the message field in debugLog.
• LOOP worked example:

Optional!

Exercise 4c – Building Flow Services: SEQUENCE

Key Skills
20 minutes
Ta s k

pub.math:divideInts. Create the input variables as shown in the table.
• In the sequence_test service, create the input variables as shown in the
table.
• Insert three SEQUENCE statements and indent the second and third under
the first.
• Under SEQUENCE 2, insert and indent an INVOKE of your service
doStuff.
• Under SEQUENCE 3, insert and indent an invoke of the service
pub.flow:getLastError. Following this at the same level, insert an INVOKE of the
service pub.flow:debugLog.

Exercise 5 – Mapping Services

Key Skills
Create a service which maps from one data format to another
20 minutes
Ta s k
1. Create this Map Service:
2. Complete the map as follows:

a. OrderDate = today’s date in this format - November 22, 2002
b. Map Course_ID but ONLY if course_id is not equal to D106
3. Run the service and confirm successful execution in the Developer results tab.
Use the Debugger to watch the mapping execution and note the behavior in a loop
during the mapping of the book list.

reserved
Ti ps & Tr i ck s
• Create a document type Course_BookOrder from XML file input
• Copy BookOrderTicket from the D106Support package (docs folder).
• Create a service to map from one document type to another (mapBookOrder).
• Use references to Course_BookOrder as input and BookOrderTicket as output.
• Use a MAP statement to map input fields to their output equivalent.
• Double-click on the course_id map link to create a condition, using “!= “D106”
as the condition. Use Pipeline Editor Copy/Paste to get the full path for the field.
• For the output field BookOrderTicket/OrderDate, use a transformer.

Be careful mapping elements from within arrays.
• To expand or hide the mapping pane in Developer, use the

buttons.
• The mapping and Document types will be used in more than one
exercise, so we are creating their folders outside the exercise5 folder in
D106Exercises\maps.
• Use the sample input file for testing (bookorder_input.txt).
• Worked Example:

Exercise 11 – Trading Networks Profiles

Key Skills
Create local and partner profiles in Trading Networks
20 minutes
Ta s k
The ACME business case uses Trading Networks to manage XML communication with
trading partners. In this exercise, you will:
 Use the Profile Assistant to create your own TN local profile (Acme)
 Enable your profile

Customer)
 Enable your partner profile
Since configuring a Trading Networks profile uniquely and permanently identifies it, we
will use the same profile both here and in the business case activities.
