Web services · SOAP
Connect SOAP web services. Keep established business logic in place.
Many ERP and specialist applications expose operations through SOAP. onflAI turns these into a guided integration process that respects the service contract and the application's business rules.
A CONCRETE EXAMPLE
What your requirement could look like.
“Read an ERP order's delivery status through its SOAP service and update the corresponding CRM order.”
Sales sees current delivery information while the business logic remains in the ERP.
Planning example, not a customer case study. Execution, scheduling and scope depend on connectivity, approval and plan.
01
Prepare access
- Provide the WSDL, service endpoint, SOAP version and required operations. Definitions for imported schemas must also be accessible.
- Agree authentication, TLS and any WS-Security requirements with the service owner. Security variants are not interchangeable.
- Use an approved test account and valid sample requests. Never copy credentials into descriptions or AI input.
02
Define fields and rules
- Map XML namespaces, required fields and repeating elements correctly. Treat order numbers and line numbers separately.
- Distinguish business errors and SOAP Faults from successful results. Successful transport does not mean a successful business transaction.
03
Check before production
- Test success, unknown order numbers and service errors. Verify what actually reaches the target.
- Handle timeouts and retries according to the business operation. A write may already have taken effect even when its response is missing.
How does onflAI work with a SOAP service?
Your SOAP service keeps its business logic in the original application. onflAI configures the connection and mapping. The SOAP version, available operations and security profile determine the appropriate connection method.
Where onflAI helps
You describe the outcome and select the relevant data. AI assists with configuration, mapping and validation. Credentials remain separate and are processed in encrypted form by the platform. After review and human approval, IOnbrix executes the data process, not AI.
A validated configuration does not replace an end-to-end test with your systems. Verify network access, the correct business outcome and error behaviour before production.
