Built-in services

Provides ready-to-use functions for common integration tasks like data transformation, arithmetic operations, and flow control.

webMethods Integration has an extensive library of services for performing common integration tasks such as transforming data values, performing simple mathematical operations.

Services are started at run time. While creating a flow service, you can sequence services and manage the flow of data among them.

Related services are grouped in categories. Input and output parameters are the names and types of fields that the service requires as input and generates as output and these parameters are collectively referred to as a signature.

Note: When deploying a flow service in a multi-instance setup, the service is synchronized across both instances but operates on only one instance during execution. For example, if the flow service includes an alert.emit service, it exists in both instances but functions only within one instance at a time.

Develop anywhere, deploy anywhere services

Use the services to validate objects and to validate the pipeline.

globalVariable:getGlobalVariable

Returns the value of a global variable.

Input parameters
Key-String
The name of the global variable.
defaultValue-String
The value the server returns if the specified global variable does not exist.
Output parameters
Value-String
The value of the global variable.
isSecure-String
Indicates whether the global variable is a password.
Note: You can modify only the Value field when you edit a global variable.

Global variables are supported exclusively in deploy anywhere flow services.

You can use global variables only for project-level variables.
