B1if Training/documentation

[Former Member]

I am having a really hard time getting started with b1if. It seems there is a severe lack of documentation regarding this software. Much of the documentation included in the help files appears to pick up in the middle of a conversation I was not a part of. Can any one point me in the direction of some usable documentation for B1if. I am really just trying to find out how to create a web service to update a B1 object.

Hi Thomas, here you have a tutorial about web services.

If you need more please ask.

Silvio,

Thanks for the docs, but I have these docs. The part of the puzzle I am missing is how to update an SBO object using a web service. These docs describe getting data from SBO, but I need to add/update data.

Hi, you need to add B1 Object to the scenario, then edit, the generate schema.

I will share another doc that as an specific example.

Hope this can help you.

Silvio, that was very helpful. From reading this it appears that all I really have to do is to add the B1object and generate the schema. For the rest I just need to follow the original doc you sent. I am I correct in my understanding that I do not need to map the key variable? In other words leave this part blank

Yes you are right, leave it black to ad, but for update or add you nee to provide a key value, normally you use xPath to map the value that's in the predecessor atom.

Best regards.
