Configure a Vocera SOAP Publisher Adapter to enable external systems to request data from Vocera Platform.
Adapters send information to and receive information from the Vocera Platform, as well as monitor and collect data. Each adapter is configured to allow the Vocera Platform to communicate with a specific type of resource and any devices that resource may control.
The Vocera Platform uses the Vocera SOAP Publisher Adapter to define a custom web service to access and update core objects. Once the 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.
The Vocera SOAP Publisher 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. See the Vocera SOAP Subscriber Adapter Configuration Guide for information about consuming a WSDL to create a web service.
