Salesforce.com Server ULR

[sfdc12345]

Hi Guys,

Making some progress on this, however....

I've logged in and gotten my sessionID, etc. from the salesforce.com WS but subsequent calls require that the server URL be set to the value returned with the login request.

How can I do that? I've set these all up in advance to the be main entry point for the WS?

This is exactly the same problem I face when I want to change a REST url call (Technorati, etc.).

Suggestions?

Do you want to persist these value after you have logged in e.g. in a database or file, or do you want to use them in subsequent calls and then forget them?

The URL needs to persist for the duration of the session. In this case, the session might be several operations (5-10? 20? 30? not sure).

It needs to be refreshed since it will timeout for sure (~30 mins idle). My work around now is to update the URL after I run the login Operation, but that won't work unattended.

The more general case for REST calls requires a bit more functionality, so suspect that pulling something from a DB/file is best.

In order to achieve what you need we will add a couple of fetures to the interface. We will let users define global variables at the project level (we current have that at the operation level using the Get and Set functions in the formula builder).

We will then expose overrides at the operation level for the different attributes of the objects used, that way you can override say the URL of a web service call with a global variable e.g. session_url set during the login operation.

The good news is that the server was designed for overrides as we planned to expose this capability in a workflow interface that will be released in a future date. We will get back to you regarding when this will become available in the current interface shortly.

Cheers.
