Outbound

It is also possible to configure a Transportation and Global Trade Management Cloud External System to use an external web service endpoint as the destination for an outbound message.

The external system is configured to use a Web Service record created from the WSDL for the external service. See the online Web Service Manager help for details but, at a high level, the main steps are as follows:

Create a Document in Transportation and Global Trade Management Cloud from the external service WSDL URL.
Create a Web Service record in Transportation and Global Trade Management Cloud using the Document created in step 1.
Configure External System to reference Web Service for the chosen Web Service operation and service endpoint.

Note: A single service can offer multiple operations.

In step 1, the Document can be created from an uploaded text file containing the definitions (normally with the .wsdl file extension) or by specifying the URL for the WSDL resource. See the online Document Manager help for details.

Note: If the external service specifies a WS-SecurityPolicy (see below) then the Document must be created using the URL.

Security

The following WS-Security policies are supported for outbound web services:-

Username Token Profile: uses username and password configured on Web Service Endpoint.
HTTPS Transport
Message Encryption

Service Call Pattern

Transportation and Global Trade Management Cloud outbound Web Services support both Document Literal WRAPPED and Document Literal BARE styles. Document Literal WRAPPED is the preferred style as it offers the highest level of interoperability.
