I have been asked by our corporate offices whether Lawson has the capability to:
1. Consume a WebService
2. Expose a WebService for consumption
We are the only hospital that has Lawson, all the rest have Meditech. I know that ProcessFlow has a WebService Node and I used it during a training class to do Currency Conversion. However, does anyone out there know someone that we can contact to consult with us about developing several custom WSDL's from Lawson to expose WebServices?

Thanks

Personally I have not used the Process Flow web service node, but I've used a custom .NET application hosted in the Lawson environment (Windows) to consume a Web Service. You still have the ability to authenticate to Lawson, or make DME/AGS calls. If you're on Unix, you should be able to use Java/JSP hosted within WebSphere for the same concept.

ProcessFlow/IPA can call a webservice; it's just a node you configure in your flow.

ProcessFlow/IPA is delivered with java triggers (BCIClientSession Class) that can be used by middleware (i.e. an Enterprise Service Bus) to start a flow; then the flow uses the 'Return' node to pass data back to the calling java process. See the InfoCenter for LSF technology. It's in ProcessFlow Administration -> ProcessFlow Developer Guide -> Creating Custom Triggers -> Java Triggers
