The SOAP Publisher adapter is used to define a custom web service to access and update core objects. Once the System Administrator has defined the web service, a WSDL describing the service can be retrieved and then an external system can make requests of the adapter for create, update, create-or-update, read, and count data in datasets. Multiple operations on different datasets can be published as one WSDL (defined in one configuration), and multiple WSDLs can be published by the adapter (defined in multiple configurations). Use this adapter with any system that is capable of generating SOAP requests consistent with the generated WSDL.
Use the SOAP Publisher adapter with any system that is capable of generating SOAP requests consistent with the generated WSDL. The adapter can only publish a web service according to the definition provided in the configuration; it cannot consume a WSDL and create a web service from it.
This section summarizes the new features in this release.
The SOAP Publisher 1.3.0 solution provides the following new features:
Users can now request record unlinking through the SOAP Publisher user interface. (ADP-1159)
An option to remove old links is made available when either “Create” or “Create or Update” is selected in the Operations Type dropdown menu.
Users can now change attributes in mappings without the WSDL schema changing unnecessarily. (ADP-1462)
A new "Sort WSDL Elements" checkbox in the Operations configuration settings provides the ability to maintain the schema order.
SOAP Publisher can be configured to report that it has not recently received any requests. (ADP-943)
A new Timeout field can be configured in the Operations definition to generate an audit event if no message is received in the specified window. If the field is not configured, no event is generated.
The SOAP Publisher adapter can support unlinking existing child records during updates. (ADP-793)
An unlink option is now provided in the Operations configuration settings; select the "Unlink" option in the Type dropdown menu.
The SOAP Publisher adapter can now assign static values to attributes without the values being included in SOAP requests. (ADP-120)
The SOAP Publisher adapter now provides better logging of errors. (ADP-37)
The SOAP Publisher creates an audit log entry for each request in any requested operation that completed with an error.
The SOAP Publisher 1.1.0 solution provides the following new features:
The adapter has been re-complied for compatibility with Vocera Platform 6.1.
This section provides information about fixes and improvements made to the SOAP Publisher adapter.
The following issues are fixed in the SOAP Publisher 1.3.0:
"{Host}" no longer displays instead of a valid IP or name in the SOAP Publisher audit event for a failed request. (ADP-9107)
Now the generic value "SOAP client" is used in the audit message when an error is generated when updating a record.
The complete message now displays for the field "Link Attribute" for the "Unlink" operation. (ADP-9106)
Previously, only "The information provided is either invalid or incomplete" part of the message displayed, without the relevant field names.
The message Timeout field now includes a unit of measure (minutes). (ADP-3853)
The ei:displaylist is now correctly capitalized in interfaceDetail.html. (ADP-3695)
A capitalization issue where camel case was displayed has been fixed.
Name validation has been added to the Operations message definition. (ADP-3125)
Previously, it was possible to clone an original message definition twice, resulting in message definitions with duplicate names.
SOAP Publisher now logs XML in debugging log. (ADP-913)
Additional debugging information includes the raw xml message, also stored in an audit message.
An extra colon character which appeared in the SOAP Publisher "Publisher Interface" page has been removed. (ADP-60)
Previously, the new Operation name field displayed two colons after the Name label.
SOAP Publisher interface configurations now use the correct "condition" term. (ADP-57)
Previously, the term "view" was used.
SOAP Publisher is no longer missing validation error information when creating an adapter instance. (ADP-55)
Previously, only "The information provided is either invalid or incomplete" part of the message displayed, without the relevant error information.
The SOAP Publisher user interface "Download WSDL" and "Save Link As..." buttons no longer save the file as different file types based on whether the adapter is Active or Inactive. (ADP-45)
Previously, when the Soap Publisher was not Active, then the the file type to be saved was listed as a "Plain Text Document", which is not usable by the SOAP interface.
The following issues are fixed in the SOAP Publisher 1.1.0:
NONE
This release of the SOAP Publisher adapter has no known issues.
