Hi There, 
 
the rest seems to be working but i am getting an error on the first URL, it is giving me this when trying to click the &quot;Invoke&quot; button 
 

<pre><code class="code-1 nolinks" id="code-8275041">You cannot call a method on a null-valued expression.
At line:18 char:1
+ $ie.Document.getElementByID('Invoke').Click()
</code></pre>
 
Thanks

Hi, 
 
I got it working, my only question now is how do i get the second page result out in XML output into powershell and not opening the page and xml in IE ? 
 
This is my final PowerShell script 
 

<pre><code class="code-10 nolinks" id="code-20-41024214-1">if (!(Get-Variable ie -Scope global -ea SilentlyContinue) -or !$ie.Document)
{
 $global:ie = New-Object -comobject InternetExplorer.Application
}
$ie.silent = $true
$ie.visible = $true

# First web site
$username = 'username'
$Password ='password'
$DSN = 'dsn'
$ie.Navigate('http://23rnb-w4iis2/ibsv54/_Ws/context.asmx?op=Login')
while ($ie.busy) { Start-Sleep -m 100 }
while ($ie.Document.readyState -ne 'Complete') { Start-Sleep -m 100 }

$Usernamefield = $ie.Document.getElementByID('username')
$Usernamefield.value = $username

$PasswordField = $ie.Document.getElementByID('password')
$PasswordField.value = $Password

$DSNField = $ie.Document.getElementByID('dsn')
$DSNField.value = $DSN

$Link = $ie.Document.getElementsByTagName(&quot;input&quot;) | ? {$_.Type -eq 'submit'} | % {$_.Click()}




# Second web site
# similar as above

$Token = 'token'
$CustomerID ='number'
$ie.Navigate('http://23rnb-w4iis2/ibsv54/_Ws/customer.asmx?op=LoadOverview')
while ($ie.busy) { Start-Sleep -m 100 }
while ($ie.Document.readyState -ne 'Complete') { Start-Sleep -m 100 }

$Tokenfield = $ie.Document.getElementByID('Token')
$Tokenfield.value = $Token

$CustomerIDField = $ie.Document.getElementByID('CustomerID')
$CustomerIDField.value = $CustomerID

$Link = $ie.Document.getElementsByTagName(&quot;input&quot;) | ? {$_.Type -eq 'submit'} | % {$_.Click()}

$resultXML = $ie.Document.InnerHTML
$resultXML
</code></pre>
</div>

<div>
Hi, 
 
I think i forgot to mention that I need the output of the second page which is a XML output to be output into PowerShell because i need to consume the result. 
 
Also what is happening is that when i click Invoke it opens a new TAB where the results are so when i try get the body it is displaying the body showing the examples on how to do a Get/SOAP and so on not the actual result. I also cannot have it open IE as this needs to be completely silent as all I am looking for is the result which i check with another system.
</div>

<div>
$resultXML should contain the XML code. 
 
You do not need to use e.g. 

<pre><code class="code-1 nolinks" id="code-20-41024538-1">$Tokenfield = $ie.Document.getElementByID('Token')
$Tokenfield.value = $Token
</code></pre>
if you are not checking the var for a value. It is the same as 

<pre><code class="code-1 nolinks" id="code-20-41024538-2">$ie.Document.getElementByID('Token').value = $Token
</code></pre>
but doesn't require to store the object.
</div>

<div>
To hide IE, set $ie.visible = $false. 
 
The other stuff I did not get. If you see it on screen in IE, you can check the result properties with F12. You need to drill down to the tags, IDs, or whatever to be able to specify the XML part.
</div>

<div>
Ok, i have set it to $ie.visible = $false but IE still opens, but regardless of that this is what i am meaning. 
 
when i run my script 
 

<pre><code class="code-10 nolinks" id="code-20-41024552-1">if (!(Get-Variable ie -Scope global -ea SilentlyContinue) -or !$ie.Document)
{
 $global:ie = New-Object -comobject InternetExplorer.Application
}
$ie.silent = $true
$ie.visible = $false

# First web site
$username = 'za\btgaccount'
$Password ='BTG@ccount2'
$DSN = 'DTH'
$Page1 = $ie.Navigate('http://23rnb-w4iis2/ibsv54/_Ws/context.asmx?op=Login')
while ($ie.busy) { Start-Sleep -m 100 }
while ($ie.Document.readyState -ne 'Complete') { Start-Sleep -m 100 }

$Usernamefield = $ie.Document.getElementByID('username')
$Usernamefield.value = $username

$PasswordField = $ie.Document.getElementByID('password')
$PasswordField.value = $Password

$DSNField = $ie.Document.getElementByID('dsn')
$DSNField.value = $DSN

$Link = $ie.Document.getElementsByTagName(&quot;input&quot;) | ? {$_.Type -eq 'submit'} | % {$_.Click()}


# Second web site
# similar as above


$Token = 'DTH'
$CustomerID ='36526867'
$ie.Navigate('http://23rnb-w4iis2/ibsv54/_Ws/customer.asmx?op=LoadOverview')
while ($ie.busy) { Start-Sleep -m 300 }
while ($ie.Document.readyState -ne 'Complete') { Start-Sleep -m 300 }

$ie.Document.getElementByID('Token').value = $Token

$ie.Document.getElementByID('CustomerID').value = $CustomerID

$Link = $ie.Document.getElementsByTagName(&quot;input&quot;) | ? {$_.Type -eq 'submit'} | % {$_.Click()}

$resultXML = $ie.Document.InnerHTML
</code></pre>
 
It then opens 3 IE tabs, one tab from the result of the first login and then the second page where it asks for Token and CustomerID and then a 3rd tab where the actual xml output is, so the actual data i want to see within Powershell. 
 
This is the result, but i just cant get that in the powershell output

<div>
Try if inserting lines 13-14 after line 25 and again after line 42 prevents new tabs to open.
</div>

<div>
Hi, 
 
Nope, it just keeps opening the new tabs, so my output is on another TAB so when i call the $ie.Document it is outputting the first page where the examples are shown of what to type in, like the SOAP 1.1 and HTTP GET examples.
</div>

<div>
Is there no way i can perhaps use New-WebServiceProxy or Invoke-WebRequest to accomplish this with opening 2 pages where the first one is just required to open a session for the first ?
</div>

<div>
The issue is not with the scripting or progamming language, but with the Automation objects for IE. The WebRequest could be used if it didn't need any interaction. The best you can do is to stop from using the second page to get data, but use the SOAP or HTTP GET methods directly. Again: &quot;If available, just building the corresponding URL is a better idea (instead of filling out the second form).&quot;
</div>

<div>
Ok not too sure how i would accomplish that because i need the data from the second url, not sure how i would use a SOAP or Get within Powershell to get the xml payload result after authenticating with the first page. 
 
I am no too familiar with trying to get the info with GET and SOAP.
</div>

<div>
This is the first page 
 
<a href="https://filedb.experts-exchange.com/incoming/2015/10_w41/951220/FistPage.PNG" target="_blank" title="FistPage.PNG (35 KB)"><img alt="FistPage.PNG" class="file-block lazyload" style="max-width: 800px;" data-src="https://filedb.experts-exchange.com/incoming/2015/10_w41/800_951220/FistPage.PNG" /></a> 
This is the second page 
 
<a href="https://filedb.experts-exchange.com/incoming/2015/10_w41/951221/SecondPage.PNG" target="_blank" title="SecondPage.PNG (35 KB)"><img alt="SecondPage.PNG" class="file-block lazyload" style="max-width: 800px;" data-src="https://filedb.experts-exchange.com/incoming/2015/10_w41/800_951221/SecondPage.PNG" /></a> 
Now obviously &nbsp;I need to call the first page to create a session and then call the second page and get the xml result output into a variable i can use.

If you can build an URL for the last step, it is most easy. Otherwise I don't have a clue either without being able to try myself.

$resultXML
</code></pre>
 
I filled in the &quot;value&quot; with the required parameters and i now get the xml out, my only problem now is to get just the /Customer/id out of the returned XML, so not sure whats the best way to get it out in the last part of my script, should i use $ie.Document.body.outertext or innerHTML or what ?
</div>

<div>
If the content is indeed XML, you can convert it to a [XML] object, and access it by path. As an example: 

<pre><code class="code-1 nolinks" id="code-20-41025008-1">[xml] $xml = '&lt;Customer&gt;&lt;ID&gt;4711&lt;/ID&gt;&lt;Comment&gt;Nothing to say here&lt;/Comment&gt;&lt;/Customer&gt;'
$xml.Customer.ID
</code></pre>
All you need is to locate the pure XML code part of the HTML response.
</div>

<div>
This is what i get when i use $ie.Doument.Body.outertext 
 

<pre><code class="code-1 nolinks" id="code-8275081">&lt;?xml version=&quot;1.0&quot; encoding=&quot;utf-8&quot; ?&gt; 
 &lt;string xmlns=&quot;http://tempuri.org/&quot;&gt;&lt;xml&gt;&lt;hasaccounts&gt;true&lt;/hasaccounts&gt;&lt;hasproducts&gt;true&lt;/hasproducts&gt;&lt;Customer&gt;&lt;id&gt;VALUE&lt;/id&gt;&lt;birthdate
</code></pre>
 
so when i do a xml query to only get the customer number i am using the output and then //Customer/id as the XPath Query but i am not getting a result
</div>

<div>
Hi Qlemo, 
 
I must say thank you for all this back and forth, I really appreciate it. 
 
I am still not getting any result 
 
should i put your above script into my main script like this or differently ?

HI Qlemo, 
 
I ended up using this with your initial advice but with just an extra tweak so that I could get the output into Orchestrator published data correctly. 
 

<pre><code class="code-10 nolinks" id="code-20-41030497-1">if (!(Get-Variable ie -Scope global -ea SilentlyContinue) -or !$ie.Document)
{
 $global:ie = New-Object -comobject InternetExplorer.Application
}
$ie.silent = $true
$ie.visible = $false

# First web site #

$Username = 'User Name'
$Password = 'Password'
$DSN = 'Value'

$ie.Navigate(&quot;http://Server/ibsv54/_Ws/context.asmx/Login?Username=$Username&amp;Password=$Password&amp;DSN=$DSN&quot;)
while ($ie.busy) { Start-Sleep -m 500 }
while ($ie.Document.readyState -ne 'Complete') { Start-Sleep -m 200 }

# Second web site #

$Token = 'Value'
$CustomerID ='Value'
$ie.Navigate(&quot;http://Server/ibsv54/_Ws/customer.asmx/LoadOverview?Token=$Token&amp;CustomerId=$CustomerID&quot;)
while ($ie.busy) { Start-Sleep -m 500 }
while ($ie.Document.readyState -ne 'Complete') { Start-Sleep -m 200 }


$ie.Document.body.outertext -match '(\&lt;xml\&gt;.*\&lt;/xml\&gt;)' | Out-Null; $matches[0] | Tee-Object -Variable a

Start-Sleep -m 5000

$ie.Quit()

Thanks, and sorry that I had no time to work on <a href="http:#a41025342" rel="ugc">http:#a41025342</a>&nbsp;to speed up things. On the other hand, that surely helped you in getting some understanding for future troubleshooting ;-).

Hi Guys, 
 
I have to web services that i need to call within PowerShell, my problem is that i need to call the first one to authenticate and keep the session open and then i can call or open my second service to get the xml response. 
 
So the first one kind of looks like this 
 
<a href="https://filedb.experts-exchange.com/incoming/2015/10_w40/950749/Context.PNG" target="_blank" title="Context.PNG (7 KB)"><img alt="Context.PNG" class="file-block lazyload" style="max-width: 578px;" data-src="https://filedb.experts-exchange.com/incoming/2015/10_w40/950749/Context.PNG" /></a> 
Then after I have entered the required in the first and clicked &quot;Invoke&quot; and while keeping the same web page/session open i can then open the second asmx/wsdl as below 
 
<a href="https://filedb.experts-exchange.com/incoming/2015/10_w40/950750/Customer.PNG" target="_blank" title="Customer.PNG (7 KB)"><img alt="Customer.PNG" class="file-block lazyload" style="max-width: 500px;" data-src="https://filedb.experts-exchange.com/incoming/2015/10_w40/950750/Customer.PNG" /></a> 
Then after i type the required parameters in an click &quot;Invoke&quot; i get my response payload which is what i need, now the problem is that i need to do this within powershell so that i can automate the authentication and keep the session open and so that i can do my second request and get the response xml payload so that i can check the result. 
 
Please can someone help me accomplish this with Powershell or perhaps C# ? 
 
Thanks

Use Powershell to call web services

Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) is a tool used to implement and deploy a service-oriented architecture (SOA) to support distributed computing where services have remote consumers. It features a runtime and a set of APIs in the .NET Framework for building connected, service-oriented applications. Services typically have a WSDL interface (Web Services Description Language) that any WCF client can use to consume the service, regardless of which platform the service is hosted on. WCF implements many advanced Web services (WS) standards such as WS-Addressing, WS-ReliableMessaging, WS-Security, RSS Syndication Services, WS-Discovery, routing and better support for REST services.

Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2, based on the Microsoft Vista codebase, is the last 32-bit server operating system released by Microsoft. It has a number of versions, including including Foundation, Standard, Enterprise, Datacenter, Web, HPC Server, Itanium and Storage; new features included server core installation and Hyper-V.
