OData Connector Log

The OData connector will transform the machine step configuration into REST API call in OData connector. The OData connector will also transform the response from IFS for the Flow server.
Result of the transformation, data sent to IFS and response from IFS can be viewed/investigated in Communication Log.
Whenever Flow app receives "odd errors" it might be useful to see what call was sent to IFS and what was the actual response. In rare cases transformation of the response may not succeed even though IFS returns OK, but flow is returned with an error.
Calls can be inspected in two ways:
Inspect all calls to selected projection
Show all calls to all projections.
Start by selecting connector configuration (= calls to which IFS Cloud configuration).
Then either select projection (=endpoint) to inspect all calls to selected projection or check "Show logs from all endpoints"
List contains information about operation (GET, POST, DELETE, PATCH), execution time and status code from IFS.
Rows can be further filtered based on Sent, User, Method, Status Code column values.
When selecting a single call both the request to IFS and response from IFS can be inspected in different tabs.
Request: transformed REST call
Status Code: HTTP response code from IFS
Duration: execution time of the call
This tab shows data sent to IFS as request parameters, applies to Read operation only.
Selected attributes and conditions defined in flow transformed to OData query syntax.
This tab shows data sent to IFS in request body (=payload) in POST (Create, Action), PATCH (Update) or batch operations. This data is inserted viaInput tab in machine step in Flow.
When executing batch operations, for example adding two tasks to a Work Order with PrepareWorkOrderHandling/ActiveSeparate/WorkTaskeArray/Batch Add to WorkTaskeArray operation, request body contains all individual calls sent in one call to IFS and each call payload is presented as string within each call.
In case operations return data (all CRUD operations), this can be inspected in Response tab. Returned values can be selected in Output or Select tabs in machine step in Flow.
"Request header"-tab contains OData connector generated REST call headers and "Response header"-tab contains the IFS response headers.
