Must be able to use XMLPorts in some way to set-up the XML, rather than hard coding XMLElements and XMLAttributes etc.
I looked at Data Exchange Definitions also, but wasn't quite sure how to feed those into an POST HTTP API Request.
Keen to hear if anyone has some simple examples of setting up a POST HTTP API Request, using existing functionality (XMLPort, Data Exchange Definition, etc.) to build the Xml body, rather than coding as I have done. And maybe calling from a codeunit that could be set-up via Job Queue (currently I'm triggering mine from the Sales Order List page)
Also, does anyone know how to add a prefix to an XmlElement. Need to add "nsO" to the NameSpace element/node (e.g.
