Request Commands

App Portal 2020 R1

Request Actions allows custom commands to be executed at stages during the Request life cycle. There are two types of actions that can be invoked across seven stages.

Request Action Types

There are two types of request action types:

Command Execution—Uses a command previously created under Site Management > Commands and Actions > Request Commands. Those commands specified as Execute from Server are available. When the request stage is processed, the command will be invoked and passed the variables identified in the command.
Web Service Action—Allows the connection to a web service. Each method can become its own action and its parameters supplied by App Portal Request variables. Web service actions execute just like the Command Actions.

Adding an Action

When you have your actions created they can be added to the events during the request life cycle. Select an action and event from the list and choose add to add it to the event tree. These actions will execute when the event completes. A log file for reference of actions is WebServiceAction.log.
