Connect SOAP rules
Using Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) over HTTP, the SOAP integration interface in Pega Platform supports interactions with external systems through Web services. Use SOAP connector rules when your Pega Platform applications need to call an external Web service. By using the SOAP integration interface, you optimize your business processes and avoid relying on an additional platform as a service to make calls.
The following tabs are available on this form:
Access
To list the Connect SOAP rules in your application, use the Application Explorer or click .
To list all Connect SOAP rules that are available to you, use the Records Explorer.
Development
To create a SOAP connector, start the Create SOAP Integration wizard. Identify the URL of the WSDL file that describes the processing and methods of the SOAP Web service that you want to connect to. For more information, see Creating a SOAP integration.
SOAP connectors support sending and receiving SOAP attachments with SOAP messages. For more information, see the Pega Community article How to configure a SOAP or dotNET connector to send or receive SOAP with attachments.
To debug your application when the external Web service is unavailable or lacks a test environment, you can use a connector simulator. For more information, see Creating Connector Simulations.
For details on gathering performance information about a connector, see Tracking system utilization for a requestor session with Performance Analyzer.
