You can test an inbound web service action without receiving an HTTP request from the external application. So, you only test the inbound web service action setup and not the full process with connection to the external application.

When testing, the inbound web service action does run the request message and response message. So, data can be impacted. Therefore, you are advised to only test an inbound web service action in a Development or Test environment.

For the result of an inbound web service action test, view the Result section on the test page. You can also view the message history of the related request message and response message.

Standard procedure

1.	Click Connectivity studio Integration Design.
2.	Click the Web service tab.
3.	In the list, click the link of the desired inbound web service action.
4.	On the Action Pane, click Development.
5.	Click Test.
6.	In the Web service users field, enter or select a value.
7.	Editing the resource URL is only applicable if the HTTP action is 'Get', and the web service type is 'REST'. If you have defined arguments for the inbound web service action, you can define the argument values in the resource URL.
	In the Resource field, type a value.
8.	The Data field has several purposes, depending on the HTTP action. If the HTTP action is: - 'Get', and the Web service type is 'Basic', you can define the argument values in the Data field. The defined arguments are automatically added to the Data field. - Not 'Get', define the web service request test data (body) in the Data field. Define the test data in XML format.
	In the Data field, type a value.
9.	Click Run.
10.	When you have run the web service action, you can view the test results in the Result section, in the Data field.
