Check if Webservice is available

Description

Check If Webservice Is Available tests whether a URL can be connected to and data can be read from it within a specified timeout. Use this step to verify that an API endpoint, web service, or website is reachable before your workflow attempts to call it — for example, checking service health before submitting a batch of API requests. The step returns a Boolean result (true if reachable, false otherwise) that you can use to branch the workflow to an alternate path or retry logic.

Configurations

Field Name	Description
Step name	Specify the name of the step as it appears in the workflow workspace. This name has to be unique in a single workflow.
URL field	Specify the URL fieldname in the data stream. The URL is checked for every row that is coming into this step.
Connect timeout (ms)	Specify the connect timeout in ms. The value will depend on the quality of service of this URL and experiences.
Read timeout (ms)	Specify the read timeout in ms during which the step tries to read data. The value will depend on the quality of service of this URL and experiences.
Result fieldname	Specify the name of the result boolean flag field. If it connects within the given timeout and data can be read, it returns 'true' else 'false'. Further information of the failing reason can be found in the log when debug logging is enabled.
