Test Post XML as Multipart

Upload an XML file (binary) for processing.

 

 

The interform.log.info meta data key can be used as a reference in the Log DB, and for checking the status after this post.

 

 

Test Post xml as non-multipart

With this test post you can insert the contents of a sample XML file, and verify what the outcome will be. Depending on the result type you will either get an XML file back (with status of the processing), or a PDF file (if a PDF was created during processing).

Test get job status with info key

 

Similar to the previous request - except you are here referring to the optional index field for the log DB (meta data key, interform.log.info).

 

Input files can be kept via the backup service.
