SOAP/REST Outbound Architecture
In the outbound run-time scenario, an on-premises application invokes a SaaS application through CloudStreams as follows:
Step
Description
1
The on-premises application invokes a cloud connector service that you defined to perform the desired SOAP operation (such as querying an account) or to access the desired REST resource.
2
The cloud connector service obtains a connection from the Integration Server connection pool.
3
The cloud connector service then invokes a connector virtual service.
4
The cloud connector service sends the request to the native service in the SaaS application.
5
The SaaS application processes the request for the native service and sends a response to the connector virtual service.
6
The CloudStreams server collects run-time metrics and events, and publishes them to the CloudStreams Analytics facility, which is powered by Software AG MashZone NextGen Server. You can use the CloudStreams Analytics dashboard to monitor the metrics.
7
The connector virtual service logs the request/response transaction and its payload.
