Behavior#

The task is used to call custom services. In order to do this, the task has a few standard inputs and outputs, but more importantly, the task enables the configuration of a set of input and output values that are going to fed and retrieved, respectively from the service.

This task removes the need to create a custom task whenever there is custom MES service that the ConnectIoT layer needs to interact with. It abstracts the call api, so we only need fill the input object we wish to send and the correctly define what we are expecting to receive in the reply.

Remarks#

There is no particular remark to be made.
