If you cannot use http_get, try SYSTOOLS.HTTPGETCLOB (exactly in the same way as http_get).
HTTPGETCLOB is available since release 7.1

I tried to run Birgitta's option but found we are too way behind to run it through SQL. I will have to try use Scott K's HTTPAPI options.
Thanks, Darryl

Accessing a Web-Service might not be the problem.
With the HttpGetCLOB (or other http functions) in the SYSTOOLS schema
or better with the newer HTTP_GET (or other functions) a Web-Service
can be accessed.
The result can than be decoposed In composition with the XML_TABLE
function (and this will be the hardest part).

Here again the example for accessing the Exchange Rate Web-service of
the European Central Bank

Select *
From XMLTable(
XMLNamespaces(DEFAULT
'http://www.ecb.int/vocabulary/2002-08-01/eurofxref',
'http://www.gesmes.org/xml/2002-08-01'
AS "gesmes"),
'gesmes:Envelope/Cube/Cube/Cube'
Passing XMLParse(DOCUMENT
-- SYSTOOLS.HTTPGetBLOB(
Http_Get(

'https://www.ecb.europa.eu/stats/eurofxref/eurofxref-daily.xml',
''))
Columns Subject VarChar(30) Path '../../../gesmes:subject',
Sender VarChar(30) Path
'../../../gesmes:Sender/gesmes:name',
ExchgDate Date Path '../@time',
Currency Char(3) Path '@currency',
ExchgRate Dec(10, 4) Path '@rate' ) a;

I am trying to find my notes from Birgitta's presentation at Common
this year. I'll also look at Scott HTTPAPI. Thanks

For initial testing I would recommend you download SoapUI

I have found this tool invaluable for testing SOAP services before
trying to code in RPG or SQL

I need to consume a service to get inventory balances. The service
is SOAP based. I was hoping for JSON/REST but they do not support REST.
So I have to use SOAP for now.

This is a first for me and I need some help on where to start.
I have the details on the web service but I have not found a
document explaining what must be done to make SQL consume the
service.
I have an example of the web service.
Do I need to predefine the fields in the web service or can I
simply
use
the * to return all values?

TIA, Darryl Freinkel.
