What this category's data looks like
Materials for the establishment and annual reports of Chinese-foreign cooperative education institutions include the establishment application, cooperation agreement, and articles of association, as well as the progress records and statistical scope notes in the annual report. The establishment application gives the institution name, education level, and proposed majors; the cooperation agreement gives the names of the Chinese and foreign parties, signature pages, and dates; the articles of association give the governance structure, signatures, and receipts. When the materials enter the progress records and statistical verification function, each plays a different role: the application provides the baseline fields, the cooperation agreement provides the parties and quantity agreements, and the articles of association provide the version and signature basis. The update cadence is collected weekly or monthly, and the field characteristics center on names, quantities, dates, versions, and signature status. The HTTP interface is used to push the above fields to an external system and retrieve the response body, status code, and returned fields, so that subsequent nodes can parse them and form the progress table and statistical scope notes.
Configuration and implementation checks
This step is executed by the HTTP node in the workflow, which outputs the response body, status code, and returned fields. The "progress table and statistical scope notes" are completed by subsequent nodes parsing the response, or by the external system handling it as agreed. The HTTP module sends requests to the target address, and variables can be used as placeholders in all three places: path parameters, request body, and request headers. The variables come from global variables, system variables, or the output of preceding nodes.
| Object | Check | Verification action |
|---|---|---|
| Establishment application | The name, quantity, date, and signature must be aligned item by item with the cooperation agreement and articles of association | In the request preview, view the complete rendered address, check the source of each placeholder in variables, and then compare the returned fields |
| Cooperation agreement | The names of the Chinese and foreign parties, signature pages, and dates must be consistent with the application and articles of association | Check the request header names and the source of their values, and confirm that Authorization is passed in according to the external system's requirements |
| Articles of association | The version number, signature, and receipt must be synchronized with the application and cooperation agreement | Use a sample request to compare the response, and check that the fields in responseData are consistent with the agreement |
Three common errors
- Symptom: The name, quantity, and date of the same record do not match between the application and the cooperation agreement. Cause: The two materials are maintained separately, and no field-level check was done before pushing.
- Symptom: The articles of association version is not synchronized, and the external system receives an old signature page. Cause: The variable placeholders come from the old output of preceding nodes and were not updated with the materials.
- Symptom: The request returns 401, or the external system receives empty fields. Cause: The authentication information was not passed in according to the external system's requirements, or the request body fields are inconsistent with the agreement.
How to verify the setup
This function's acceptance: preview the rendered request, check the status code and returned fields, and then compare the result against a sample; in the variables panel, check the placeholders and returns in variables, Authorization, and responseData.
Business test: use one week of records to check the totals, and see whether the scope and exceptions are clearly stated.
- In the request preview, view the complete rendered address, and check the request header names and the source of their values.
- Use a sample request to compare the response, and check that the request body fields are consistent with the external interface agreement.
