XI Interface Config & Development

From the Trenches

The Challenge

Build a URI on the fly to transmit multiple EDI interfaces from GIS to XI
via a SOAP HTTP connection.

The Solution

A custom table in GIS stores interface data for each partner, including the XI interface namespace and name. This is pulled into Process Data and passed to a BP that handles the SOAP call. During HTTP POST, an XPath query reads and concatenates the config data from Process Data to build the correct URI to call each interface through the XI SOAP Adapter.
