Integration queries
The integration framework supports queries from external systems. You can execute a query for object structures and enterprise services by using HTTP, REST APIs, or a Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) request in a web service. Queries can be in the form of XML messages or REST API JSON.
Support for XML queries is based on the system Query By Example (QBE) capability that is available from the List tab of most applications. XML-based queries provide the same query support that is provided in the applications except for attribute searches that are available in some system applications. Integration query time outs are controlled by the mxe.db.Query.Timeout system property.
