How to Use Postman to call Bizagi web services

Introduction

Postman is a powerful API testing tool that allows developers and testers to send requests, validate responses, and automate workflows. While Postman works seamlessly with JSON APIs, working with XML responses often requires additional processing.

In this article, we will:

  • Configure Postman to make web service calls.
  • Explain why XML transformation is necessary.
  • Use JavaScript in Postman’s “Tests” tab to modify XML responses dynamically.

By the end, you’ll be able to restructure API responses in real-time, making API testing more efficient.

Bizagi Development Handbook

As a Bizagi developer, I often find myself using the same code snippets, XML structures, and syntax repeatedly. Instead of memorizing everything, I’ve decided to create this Bizagi Development Handbook—a quick reference guide where I can store essential code, configurations, and best practices that I use regularly.

This article is a work in progress, and I’ll continue adding more content over time as I refine and expand my knowledge. Whether it’s scripting, XML structures, or integration techniques, this guide will evolve into a comprehensive resource for Bizagi development. Stay tuned for updates!

How to update an entity not related to the data model

An easy way to update an entity which is not related to the data model is to use the CEntityManager method called GetEntity. This comes in handy when the SOA layer is not accessible as this is the only way you can perform this operation.

How to Keep Track of Deployments (Bizagi)

Bizagi is a very peculiar tool when it comes to deployments and if you are not well organized, things can go south pretty quickly.

In my current project, the production environment is in use 24/7 and the opportunities for a new release window are slim to none. So, imagine having issues in production just because you forgot to import the values of a new parameter entity.

Date, DateTime data types

Convert Date or DateTime to String data type

var sDateTimeFormatted = dDateTime.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm");
var sDateFormatted = dDate.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy");

Or you could use String.Format

var sDateFormatted = System.String.Format("{0:d}",DateTime.Now);

Use this to convert it for XML

var dTransactionDate = DateTime.Now;
var sTransactionDate = XmlConvert.ToString(dTransactionDate, XmlDateTimeSerializationMode.Unspecified);

Dates as filters for entities

[dDateDelivered != null AND dDateDelivered >= '08/22/2019 12:00:00 AM']

Bizagi’s way

<format-date(<XPath>,"format")>

Escape Character in Bizagi

Use backslash (\) for string escape. See the following examples:

var sAttribute = "test";
var xCollection= Me.getXPath("entity-list(\"mEntity\", \"sAttribute = '"+ sAttribute +"' AND bActive = 1\")");
var xCollection= Me.getXPath("entity-list('mEntity','sAttribute = \"test\" ')");
