To be able to use web interfaces you have to activate and configure the PLANTA link webservices in the web.conf:
generic_service = true
generic_service_interface and generic_service_port contain meaningful data
If you have not activated the webservices, the buttons for carrying out different actions which require webservices will not be displayed.
Web interfaces use the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) as an address by default. If the FQDN is not available, the host name of the machine will be used. If the host name is not available either, the IP of the machine will be used. An explicit host name can be defined using the global planta_link_hostname setting.
All fields in the web interface modules are case sensitive (observe upper/lower case spelling)!
Details
In the upper module area you can manage test configurations.
Test configurations can be used to test a web interface multiple times using the same request.
In a test configuration, the HTTP method, the values of the URL filter, and the request body are saved.
Test configurations are saved globally and can be used and edited by all users.
In the main module area you can create and execute a request for testing purposes using the respective parameters.
If the request body consists of a JSON object, you can use the button to format it.
In the lower module area, the response and the status code are displayed.
Note
If your system environment allows it, you can also test the web interfaces from outside, e.g. with the help of the "POSTMAN" app.
