RSSBus Solutions based on the RSSBus AppServer framework allow you to securely access your business data from anywhere on the web. Exposed services give you programmatic access to your apps with powerful suite of commands. In this tutorial, we will use AS2 Connector, one of the solutions built on the RSSBus AppServer platform, and list the available logs with the List Logs service.

Listing Logs Using AS2 ConnectorSE

In your browser, navigate to your RSSBus AppServer host. Enter your credentials if necessary. Then open the AS2 Connector app from the homepage.

Click on the "Services" link in the blue navigation bar up top to go to the Services page. From here you are presented with a brief explanation of this page plus a list of services available to you on the left hand side.

Since we're adding a listing the available logs, go ahead and click on the "List Logs" service. The service appears in full, plus a description, its required parameters, and optional parameters below that. At minimum we need to provide the name of a partner in the Name input.

When you�re ready, click the "Call Service" button. A results page will appear listing the various logs that AS2 Connector writes to.

Congratulations! You have now listed the logs of AS2 Connector using a service. Every service in all apps of the RSSBus AppServer platform is accessible via HTTP get requests. Even better, you can retrieve the output of these services in a variety of formats, including:

• RSS
• HTML
• CSV
• ATOM
• SOAP
• JSON
• Excel
• TSV

To change the output format, you can either select the format from the dropdown menu that appears under the Run Service button on the service page, or you can append &@rss (if RSS is the desired format) to the end of URL that locates the service.
