Building Cloud Connector Services

Before you create a cloud connector service, ensure that the CloudStreams connector associated with your desired cloud application provider is installed. Also ensure that a cloud connection pool is created for that connector.

If you are working with a SOAP-based provider, you should create at least one cloud connector service for each operation defined in the cloud connector descriptor. The operations contain a reference to a SOAP operation, defined in the connector’s WSDL. For more information about SOAP operations, see Editing a Cloud Connector Service for a SOAP-Based Provider.

If you are working with a REST-based provider, you should create at least one cloud connector service for each REST resource. For more information about REST resources, see Editing a Cloud Connector Service for a REST-Based Provider.

Note:
Information about cloud connector services is located in webMethods Service Development Help and also in the documentation specific to your CloudStreams provider, for example, webMethods CloudStreams Provider for Salesforce.com Installation and User's Guide). Both documents include the Building Cloud Connector Services topic, which provides information about how to create a cloud connector service for the operations defined in the WSDL of the CloudStreams provider or for the REST resources, using Designer. The documentation specific to your CloudStreams provider also contains information about how to create a cloud connection and configure the session management parameters, using the Integration Server Administrator.
