SOAP/REST Inbound Architecture
In the inbound run-time scenario, a SaaS application invokes an on-premises application through CloudStreams as follows:
Step
Description
1
A SaaS application invokes a virtual service that has been deployed to CloudStreams. The virtual service's policy performs security checks and any other user-defined processing before sending the request to the on-premises application.
2
The virtual service invokes a service endpoint (an Integration Server flow service or a Java service) in the on-premises application.
3
The endpoint service then invokes the on-premises application service(s).
4
The on-premises application processes the request against the native service and sends a response back to the SaaS application.
5
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.
6
The virtual service logs the request/response transaction and its payload.
