Exposing a workflow as SOAP

This procedure describes how to expose a workflow as SOAP. After you expose a workflow, clients outside of the BMC Atrium Orchestrator product can generate SOAP requests to execute the workflow on demand. A SOAP response returns any outputs produced by the workflow.

To expose a workflow as SOAP

1. In Grid Manager, designate a peer as a SOAP endpoint.

   You can designate any CDP or AP as a SOAP endpoint. You cannot designate a lightweight activity peer (LAP) as a SOAP endpoint.

2. Select the workflow to specify with the legacy web service, and expose it as SOAP using the following steps:

   1. Access BMC Atrium Orchestrator Development Studio and select the workflow to use with the legacy web service.

   2. Double-click the workflow to open its Process Properties dialog box.

   3. In the Expose Process list, select As SOAP, and click OK.

3. In the BMC Atrium Orchestrator Development Studio application, export the module with workflows exposed as SOAP.
4. In Grid Manager, activate the workflow on the grid.
