— Create SOAP integration

Use the wizard to integrate data from a new SOAP data source into your application. The wizard guides you through the process; use the breadcrumbs at the top of the wizard to return at any time to a previous screen.

Click Cancel at any time to exit the wizard without creating any new records.

Load WSDL

Provide the WSDL for this data source by selecting either

• Upload WSDL via URL, and in the field provided enter the URL for this data source; or
• Upload WSDL from File, and in the field provided locate the sample file for this data source.

If there are problems with the WSDL, an error message appears at the top of the form with information to help you resolve the problem.

Click Next >.

Select Operations

If this connector requires authentication, click the "Edit Authentication" link. In the form that appears, select the authentication profile to use by double-clicking an option in the pulldown list. For the selected profile provide:

• Authentication scheme: Basic, NTLM, or OAuth (See the note below about using OAuth).
• User name
• Password: if the password exists, click the Change Password button to change it.
• OAuth Client: if you are using OAuth, select the OAuth client from the list provided.
• Realm: optional
• Host name: optional
• Preemptive authentication: check the checkbox to enable preemptive authentication

Click OK to save the configuration.

The wizard analyzes the WSDL you provided and suggests the operations available for it. Check the checkbox beside each operation you want to use.

Beside each selected operation a Test button appears. Click the button to display the form for testing the connection. Click Edit to update the endpoint URL to test.You can see the operation in tree view or as XML, and verify the authentication used.

Click Save Data to create a simulation instance from the current configuration for reuse. In the form that appears provide a name for the saved data, and review its details. Check the checkbox at the bottom of the form to save the configuration only, and not the response data. Click Create to save the simulation instance.

When you are ready, click Next >to generate records.

Review And Save

Review and, if necessary, update information about this integration:

Base class configuration

• Integration: Required. Provide a short description for the integration.
• Parent Class: select the parent class from the available options.
  
  

The system creates the integration's identifier. Click Edit to edit the identifier.

Context

• Development branch: select either [No branch] (the default) or a development branch into which to save the integration.
• Choose application layer: Choose either the framework or the implementation layer.
• Add to ruleset: Choose New or Existing. If New, provide a name for the new ruleset; if Existing, select a ruleset from the options provided.

Click Preview to review the integration's structure and rules to be created.When you are ready, click Create. When the data connector is created, it becomes available for selection and use in lists of data sources.

Using OAuth with a SOAP integration

You need to obtain an access token to use OAuth with a SOAP connector, before you invoke the connector. Run the standard activity OAuth-Client.pyConnectSocialNetwork. The activity takes the OAuth Client data instance name as a parameter and returns an access token. Do not call this activity from the same activity that invokes the Connect-SOAP method.

The system stores the access token in the database with the operator ID of the operator used to invoke pyConnectSocialNetwork and the consumer key from the OAuth client data instance as keys.

To make a SOAP call to an OAuth protected resource using the consumer key, associate an authentication profile with the connector. Set the Authentication Scheme to OAuth and reference the OAuth client data instance that corresponds to the consumer key for which you obtained the access token.
