Many of the PromoStandards services may be validated using the using the PromoStandards.org Web Service Validator. However, some services are not available for validation on the PromoStandards.org website or you may wish to use an alternative SOAP API validation tool (such as SoapUI).
We've included some basic steps when using SoapUI as a validation tool. The examples below are for validating the Live Inventory 2.0.0 service, but similar steps would be taken for validation of the other PromoStandards services.
Note: the screenshots below are from SoapUI version 5.7.1 on a Microsoft Windows machine. The display may be different depending on your operating system/version.
1. After installation, open SoapUI.
2. Create a new SOAP project by clicking the SOAP button
3. A window will open where you can specify the name of your project and provide the WSDL link for the service. This will be the eXtendPS-SE SOAP Services URL. See View an eXtendPS-SE Endpoint's URL if viewing an endpoint URL from eXtendPS-SE.
4. After entering a Project Name and Initial WSDL, click the OK button to generate the project along with the supported SOAP requests.
5.Click on the SOAP request you would like to make, and a new window for configuration of your request will be opened.
6. Specify the details for the request in the request body (version, username, password, etc.) and click the play button to process your request.
7. A response body will be shown in the response section.
8. Right-click the window and a context menu will open. Click Validate.
9. Once the response is validated a validation message will be shown.
10. If there are any errors in the response body, the error will be shown under the response section.
