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. You can use the CloudStreams Analytics dashboard to monitor the metrics.
7
The connector virtual service logs the request/response transaction and its payload.
