Another tip that help me was to set MinOccurs = 0 and Nillable = true where appropriate.
This can be found by clicking the "..." next to the xml data type attribute, called "XML Properties" On the BMC OOTB web services they left MinOccurs = 1 and Nillable = false even for optional fields, not sure why they chose to do that. Leaving this as MinOccurs = 1 and Nillable = false for optional fields will force you to map and reference these every time when called, in my mind that is not advisable. MinOccurs means you have to include the field in the call, Nillable means you can leave the value blank if desired. http://www.dimuthu.org/blog/2008/08/18/xml-schema-nillabletrue-vs-minocc urs0/ Regards, Andrew Goodall Software Engineer 2 | Development Services | jcpenney . www.jcp.com <http://www.jcp.com/> ________________________________ From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arslist@ARSLIST.ORG] On Behalf Of William Abdo Sent: Friday, March 02, 2012 12:29 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: SOAP API Tommy, I recommend if you are building your own web services by deleting all the fields and adding the ones back that you truly need. The default is everything and it adds to the confusion of the data exchanges. Keep them simple to start off with so they are easier to troubleshoot. You can give the Webservice to an application to use or As patchk said "use their WSDLs with your Remedy filters" From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arslist@ARSLIST.ORG] On Behalf Of patchsk Sent: Friday, March 02, 2012 11:38 AM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: SOAP API ** Good, install soapUI tool. Its free and comes very handy while working with webservices. It would really save a lot of time during any webservice troubleshooting issues.

As long as the external system has a published webservice, you can consume it through remedy filters.
