My Call web service XML is not working with GetListItems method

Thanks for responding @SimonMuntz. Surprisingly, yes as I find them a little mystifying. I was tinkering around with the tutorial here when researching how to use these and got the web service part of this one working well. I have not gotten to the report formatted email part yet but I was able to prove that I can use a web service. Also, I am a site collection admin. Did you see anything amiss?

Here is the error in preview (connection test was OK).

Thansk and Regards,

Patrick

UPDATE...

Hi @SimonMuntz,

With the help of a colleague, @omalleyrp, we have it connecting with output. It still does not do what I need but here is what we did.

...The URL needed to be literal and not referenced as the target list was on another site in the site collection.

...Also, I wanted to return only the ID field value from the target list item. I used the <viewFields></viewFields> tag and put ID, "ID", and 'ID' between, each with the 500 error as a result. 

Here is my current working XML...

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
   <soap:Body>
      <GetListItems xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/">
         <listName>tbl_Westerners</listName>
         <viewName />
         <query>
            <Query>
               <Where>
                  <Eq>
                     <FieldRef Name="UserID" />
                     <Value Type="Text">{WorkflowVariable:var_CreatedByUserID_TXT}</Value>
                  </Eq>
               </Where>
            </Query>
         </query>
         <viewFields></viewFields>
         <rowLimit />
         <queryOptions xmlns:SOAPSDK9="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/">
            <QueryOptions />
         </queryOptions>
         <webID />
      </GetListItems>
   </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

Here is the output from my preview test...

<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">

        </listitems>
      </GetListItemsResult>
    </GetListItemsResponse>

...and here is the output from run against an item that I authored (some redaction used)...

What I ultimatly need to return is the 34 (in this example) that shows up in ows_ID="34".

Am I misunderstanding the use of the <viewFields></viewFields> tag? If so, what is the correct/best sterategy to parse my needed value out of the output XML?

Thanks and Regards,

Patrick

With the help of @TomaszPoszytek in the post Query XML Error: Invalid Token I was able to bring this Call Web Service to a successful conclusion! Thanks to Tomasz and @omalleyrp for helping me get this done. Could not have done it without you both! Bob... If you past something here I will award the solution to you as Tomasz has the award in the othert post. Thanks again!

Great news, glad it worked out for you!
