WebService Script

CreateFlightOrder Request

web_service_call( “StepName=CreateFlightOrder_101”,
“SOAPMethod=HPFlights_Service|FlightsServiceMethods|CreateFlightOrder”,
“ResponseParam=response”,
“Service=HPFlights_Service”,
BEGIN_ARGUMENTS,
“ExpectedResponse=SoapResult”,
“Snapshot=t1476592590.inf”,
“xml:FlightOrder=”
“<CustomerName>Sujith Kumar</CustomerName>”
“<FlightOrder>”
“<Class>EconomyEconomy</Class>”
“<DepartureDate>2016-10-18</DepartureDate>”
END_ARGUMENTS,
“<FlightNumber>1089</FlightNumber>”
“<NumberOfTickets>1</NumberOfTickets>”
“</FlightOrder>”,
BEGIN_RESULT,
LAST);
“CreateFlightOrderResult/OrderNumber=Param_OrderNumber”,
“CreateFlightOrderResult/TotalPrice=Param_TotalPrice”,
END_RESULT,

 

Actual Response

<s:Envelope xmlns:s=”http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/”>
<s:Body>
<CreateFlightOrderResponse xmlns=”HP.SOAQ.SampleApp”>
<CreateFlightOrderResult xmlns:i=”http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance”>
<OrderNumber>18</OrderNumber>
<TotalPrice>196</TotalPrice>
</CreateFlightOrderResult>
</CreateFlightOrderResponse>
</s:Body>
</s:Envelope>

In above response we are going to verify OrderNumber is created or not as below.

Action()
{
web_service_call( “StepName=CreateFlightOrder_101”,
“SOAPMethod=HPFlights_Service|FlightsServiceMethods|CreateFlightOrder”,
“ResponseParam=response”,

“</FlightOrder>”,
BEGIN_RESULT,
LAST);
“CreateFlightOrderResult/OrderNumber=Param_OrderNumber”,
“CreateFlightOrderResult/TotalPrice=Param_TotalPrice”,
END_RESULT,
