Hi I want to achieve the following.
I want to call code unit through webservice ( expose code unit as web service ) and pass xml to it.
I want to save that xml and then read it and import it through xml port.

I am trying to write a code unit and declared XMLIN variable as paramter (automaticion xml ) and trying to save it. It gives me assignment error.

Can any one guide me here?
I am just new to nav coding... :) hope you some one will help me out here.

regards,
KS

    You cannot transfer automation objects as parameters via Web Services - you can transfer Text and BigText and then do what you want.
    But you could also transfer the XML directly to an XMLPort parameter - which in effect will run the XMLPort with your Input and then run the function.

    Fine. What I am thinking to do in that case is to transfer xml using big text to code unit through webserive (by exposing code unit to web service ) and use CU to pass it to XMLPort.

    I hope this should do the job.

    Any recommendations?

    can do it with text.. but can't do with big text. it says invalid stream mode.
