I'm new to Windchill and Info Engine.
Here is where I am at in my learning process:
- I have been able to run the default tasks that I found on this WSDL (<host>/Windchill/servlet/SimpleTaskDispatcher?CLASS=com.ptc.windchill.ws&VERSION=1.1&STYLE=document) using SOAP.
- I am also able to create tasks using the Info Engine Task Editor and then run them externally with a http request.
I'm trying to query a product structure externally based on some user input (product name). I need each parts' structure level, number, name, version, quantity and unit.
Ideally i would prefer not having to modify the server at all and use only out of the box tasks, but can modify if necessary.
Looking through the documentation I found the following task that looks like it is exactly what i'm looking for.

My problem is, i'm not sure how to call this externally. Is there a WSDL that includes this? If so how do i find it?
I tried:
<host>/Windchill/servlet/SimpleTaskDispatcher?CLASS=com.ptc.windchill.enterprise.report.ReportTask&STYLE=document&VERSION=1.1
but that returns an empty xml document. I also can't find the URL to call it with a direct http request.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
