  • Click Edit/Design, to bring up the Design view.
  • If needed, change the Endpoint URL to point to correct host/port.
  • Click Home/Save As, and save as pjstips_03_1.module.json.
  • You've created a low-code module, as shown below, with a routine named "routine1" that:
    • Takes an input parameter of "custno".
    • Uses plugin "Consume REST service" to issue a POST request to URL http://localhost:8081/run/pjstips/pjstips_02_3 (created in a previous example).
    • The input "custno" is specified in the "body" of the POST request.
    • The returned JSON object from the REST web service is saved in a work variable named "myres".
    • The value of myres["name"] is used to set the output value output["name"].
