Entering a Web Browser URL
Entering a task URL in the web browser is an easy way to execute the task without providing the additional coding required to execute the task through an application or JSP page.
The installer also specifies an application URL that is used as the URL prefix for requesting Info*Engine tasks. Produce the URL that contains the request to execute Info*Engine JSP pages by doing the following:
• Including the host name and application URL prefix specified when Windchill was installed. The default application URL is Windchill.
• Including the /servlet/IE/tasks prefix, which directs the servlet to the task processor.
• Specifying the path for the task that is relative to the tasks directory.
• Specifying any optional parameters to pass to the task.

If your site is using form-based authentication, programmatic clients attempting to access the IE servlet must use the /protocolAuth URL prefix. For example:
http://<host>/Windchill/protocolAuth/servlet/IE
|
Therefore, to execute the com/company/CreateGroup.xml task using the myServer host name and the Windchill application URL, specify the following URL:
http://myServer/Windchill/servlet/IE/tasks/com/company/CreateGroup.xml
The XML output displayed in the browser is similar to the following:
