Info*Engine Task
Windchill ESI services provide the task <WT_HOME>/tasks/com/ptc/windchill/esi/jca/erpInfo/QueryERP4Part.xml to communicate with the EAI software components. The EAI software components host the web service over HTTP and provide ERP Part Information. The above task uses the Call- SOAPService webject for the invocation of this web service. See the Info*Engine User's Guide for more information about the Call-SOAPService webject.
