The following section gives a general introduction to working with yunIO. The information described in the following section is a prerequisite for all subsequent sections.
Starting yunIO #
To access the yunIO Designer, enter the designer-URL in a web browser.
The URL pattern to access the yunIO Designer is http://[host]:[port]
. Example: http://localhost:8077
.
- If the yunIO service runs on a local server, replace
[host]
with localhost. - If the yunIO service does not run on the same machine as the browser, replace
[host]
with the name or IP address of the host on which the service runs. - After the installation the yunIO Designer is accessible under the default port 8077.
You can configure the port under Settings in the yunIO Designer.
Note: Make sure that the yunIO service is running and that the default port 8077 is not blocked by your firewall.

How to use a service #
Web services created with yunIO can be integrated into all cloud applications that support REST API/Swagger (OpenAPI), e.g. Power Automate, Nintex, etc.
To test a service after creation, trigger the URL of the service endpoint under Service (1). The service is then executed in your web browser.
Note: Only services that do not require parameters supplied by a caller will display any SAP results in the browser. For parameterized services, use a tool that supports Swagger/OpenAPI definitions (e.g.Swagger Inspector, Postman) .
To integrate a yunIO web service into a tool that supports Swagger/OpenAPI, copy the code or download the service definition (2).
