Process Definition

The process performs the following operations:

  • The post operation creates the FHIR resource with a unique ID

  • The get operation reads the FHIR resource with a resource ID.

  • The put operation updates the FHIR resource as requested.

  • The delete operation deletes any FHIR resource with a resource ID.

    After running the process, the system generated a Swagger URL. For more information about creating an API activity process, see Creating Business Works CRUD API Operations documentation.
