Web Service Monitor with Powershell from APM

There was a similar post for this last year, on this link:

http://thwack.solarwinds.com/message/137302#137302

The post sort of address my problem, but not completely.

I have an Internal Webservice that has a few Methods.

So far im monitoring just the WSDL as a webpage, and record the response time and status Up and Down.

Obviously, this does not check functionality of the webservice,, and thats what I need.

I have a SOAP UI project that calls the WSDL, and send some parameters (username, password, ZIP code, etc),, on the response I get some information, im interested specially on a "True/False" status and a couple of more status expressed in numbers.

I read that APM can call a Powershell Script that in turn call that WSDL and pass the parameters and reads the response.

I dont know how to call the method on Powershell.

I read on the URL above a guys pointing to this link and I tried the example:

The PowerShell Guy : PowerShell V2 : Get-Weather function using a Web service

That particular example works from Powershell on my Orion server, but I didnt know how to include it on the Orion itself (to practice that part).

My question boils to that:

- How do you use Web Service methods that needs parameters from Powershell?

- How do you write a Powershell script that can be added on APM

I hope somebody can give me a hand!

Thanks!!
