Webservices

The second way how to transfer data from/to customers can be the usage of web services. It is not a preferred solution because the integration manager instance cannot be stopped easily if IM works as a web service server. For this reason, is better to use data file transfer because SFTP or Amazon S3 server is independent of IM instance and maintenance of IM instance is much easier to plan without negative effect on transfer value from/to customer.

Also via web service is better to transfer only smaller records if you want to have a real-time integration without any delays.

Our integration manager supports SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) or REST (Representational State Transfer) where is used HTTPS protocol as a transfer layer. Each integration engineer has to be familiar with each of them, for more information click on the links below:
