About Connect SOAP rules
|
|
Using Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) over HTTP, the SOAP integration interface in PRPC supports interactions with external systems through Web services. Use SOAP connector rules when your PRPC applications need to call an external Web service.
Use the Application Explorer or > Integration > Definitions > Implementations to list the Connect SOAP rules in your application.
Select > Integration > Connectors > Connector and Metadata Wizard to start the Connector Accelerator to create a Connect SOAP rule.
Use the Records Explorer to list all Connect SOAP rules that are available to you.
To create a SOAP connector, start the Connector and Metadata accelerator. Identify the URL of the WSDL file that describes the processing and methods of the SOAP Web service you want to connect to. See About the Connector and Metadata accelerator.
For a comprehensive description of the development process and a sample, see Building SOAP Connectors on the Integration area of the PDN. See also the Integrating with External Systems 5.2 publication.
The connector supports sending and receiving SOAP attachments with SOAP messages. For more information, see PDN 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. See Creating Connector Simulations.
Connect SOAP rules can be referenced in an Integrator shape () of a flow rule, or on the Definition tab of a Declare Page rule, as the source of data for the contents of the declare page.
