Wso.WebService Lookup

With the WSO.Webservice Lookup control, you can dynamically lookup values and populate form fields with data from Winshuttle for Oracle server. The WSO.Webservice Lookup control calls an Oracle API to obtain values dynamically from Oracle EBS.

This control can be used in two modes: Field Lookup or Page Lookup.

• Field Lookup enables you to look for the values for a field using Oracle server.
• Page Lookup enables you to look for a record using Oracle server which can be consumed as input data for a web service on the form.

  Important Note: WSO.Webservice Lookup control should not be removed from your controls manually. If the control is removed you will need to reinstall Winshuttle Designer.

The following is a basic example of how this control might be used in a form in conjunction with Winshuttle Workflow server. In this example, the requester filling out the form uses a search integrated in the form to search for Suppliers, and then select one from the returned results. The selected supplier and related information is then automatically added to the form.

1. The user fills in their credentials (EBSUsername, EBSPassword, and Responsibility fields)
2. The user clicks the Find button to search for suppliers, which opens a window that displays search input fields. Mandatory fields are marked with an asterisk (*).
3. The user enters search data (Supplier Name, Supplier Number, Address, etc.), and then clicks Search. Results are displayed below the table.
4. The user clicks Select to select the desired Supplier from the search results.
5. The selected Supplier and related information (address, etc.) is automatically added to the form and fills in related information for the user.
