Create outbound integrations to web services

Integration services enable outbound integration with web services so that processes can retrieve and update data that is stored on an external system. You can use a generic web service connector or a Web Service Integration step to enable the access to the web service.

A generic web service connector, Call WebService via SOAP, is provided in the System Data Toolkit. This connector abstracts the complexity of the web service implementation and requires only minimal configuration. For more information on using the connector, see Use a SOAP connector to call a web service.

However, if you have specific requirements on the web service, such as the type of security or message encryption, use a Web Service Integration step to integrate with the service.
