When you have done that you should have a file called StringInput.txt in [EPRInstallRoot]/scripts with a timestamp and the json example above.

Using GO

1. Configure an export configuration.
2. Configure an item event handler with the function 'Export item' and "point" it to http://localhost:8085/api/script.
3. Put testService.ps1 as identifier in the function configuration.
4. Make the event handler execute, wait for the minute to pass, and you should have a file called StringInput.txt in [EPRInstallRoot]/scripts with the exported item from GO.
