Creating a Routing Rule for “Context-based” Routing (SOAP)
To create a routing rule
1. In the Variable column, select Time, IP Address, Date, Consumer, Predefined Context Variable or Custom Context Variable. For more information, see Using Context Variables in Virtual Services.
2. In the Value column, specify an applicable value. For Date choose Before, After or Equal To and enter a date. For Time choose Before or After and enter a time. For IP Address, enter numeric values for Between and And. For Consumer, click Browse and select a consumer application name.For Predefined Context Variable or Custom Context Variable, choose the String or Integer data type. Select a predefined variable name or custom variable name from the drop-down list. For String, choose Equal To or Not Equal To and enter a value. For Integer, choose Greater Than, Less Than, Not Equal To, Equal To or and enter a value.
a. For the list of the predefined context variables, see Using Context Variables in Virtual Services.
b. The predefined context variable PROTOCOL_HEADER is not available in the drop-down list; to include PROTOCOL_HEADER in the rule, define the variable as Custom Context Variable. For more information, seeThe API for Context Variables.
c. If you define a custom context variable in the routing rule, you must write a Invoking webMethods IS Services in Virtual Services and invoke it in the virtual service's Request Processing step. In this Integration Server service, use the API to get/set the custom context variable. For more information, see The API for Context Variables.
3. If you need to specify multiple variables, use the plus button to add rows.
4. In the Combination Uses field, choose an operator for the expression: AND (the default) or OR.
5. In the Route To field, click the Endpoint button and choose the URL of the native service to route the request to, if the rule criteria are met.
6. Click the Configure Endpoint Properties icon (next to the Endpoint button) if you want to configure a set of properties for each endpoint individually. In the dialog box, click the endpoint you want to configure and specify the following fields:
Field
Description
SOAP Optimization Method
Optional. Mediator can accept the following optimization methods to optimize the payloads of SOAP requests:
*MTOM: Indicates that Mediator expects to receive a request with a Message Transmission Optimization Mechanism (MTOM) attachment, and will forward the attachment to the native service.
*SwA: Indicates that Mediator expects to receive a “SOAP with Attachment” (SwA) request, and will forward the attachment to the native service.
*None (the default).
a. Bridging between SwA and MTOM is not supported. If a consumer sends an SwA request, Mediator can only forward SwA to the native provider. The same is true for MTOM, and applies to responses received from the native provider. That is, an SwA or MTOM response received by Mediator from a native provider will be forwarded to the caller using the same format it received.
b. When sending SOAP requests that do not contain a MTOM or SWA attachment to a virtual service for a native provider endpoint that returns an MTOM or SWA response, the request 'Accept' header must be set to 'multipart/related' (or the virtual service's Request Processing Step should include an Invoking webMethods IS Services in Virtual Services that sets the BUILDER_TYPE context variable to 'multipart/related'). This is necessary so Mediator knows how to parse the response properly.
WSS Header Customization
Indicates whether Mediator should pass the WS-Security headers of the incoming requests to the native service.
*Pass all security headers: Passes the security header, even if it is processed by Mediator (that is, even if Mediator processes the header according to the virtual service's security run-time policy).
Note:  
If the virtual service does not contain a security run-time policy, and the mustUnderstand attribute of the security header is 0/false, then Mediator will always forward the security header to the native service.
*Remove processed security header from request before routing: Removes the security header if it is processed by Mediator (i.e., if Mediator processes the header according to the virtual service's security run-time policy). Note that Mediator will not remove the security header if both of the following conditions are true: 1) Mediator did not process the security header, and 2) the mustUnderstand attribute of the security header is 0/false).
HTTP Connection Timeout
The time interval (in seconds) after which a connection attempt will timeout. If a value is not specified (or if the value 0 is specified), Mediator will use the value of the global property pg.endpoint.connectionTimeout located in the file Integration Server_directory\packages\WmMediator\config\resources\pg-config.properties . The default of that property is 30 seconds.
Read Timeout
The time interval (in seconds) after which a socket read attempt will timeout. If a value is not specified (or if the value 0 is specified), Mediator will use the value of the global property pg.endpoint.readTimeout located in the file Integration Server_directory\packages\WmMediator\config\resources\pg-config.properties . The default of that property is 30 seconds.
SSL Options
To enable SSL client authentication for the endpoint, you must specify values for both the Client Certificate Alias field and the IS Keystore Alias field. If you specify a value for only one of these fields, a deployment error will occur.
Note:  
SSL client authentication is optional; you may leave both fields blank.
*Client Certificate Alias: The client's private key to be used for performing SSL client authentication. If you specify a client certificate alias, you must also include in the virtual service's policy the “Require SSL” action and select that action's “Client Certificate Required” option. The “Client Certificate Required” option specifies whether client certificates are required for the purposes of: 1) Verifying the signature of signed SOAP requests or decrypting encrypted SOAP requests, and 2) Signing SOAP responses or encrypting SOAP responses.
*IS Keystore Alias: The keystore alias of the instance of Integration Server on which Mediator is running. This value (along with the value of Client Certificate Alias) will be used for performing SSL client authentication.
7. Click OK.
