A quick an easy answer I hope.

Can we use SOAP with IFS Cloud .. IFS Hosted / On Prem?

I am fully aware that we should be trying to utilize Rest but I am thinking about our existing legacy method like SOAP when we come to upgrade from Apps 10 to Cloud.

Hi @JamesW72 ,

IFS OData Provider exposes IFS business entities and business logic through OData endpoints, OData (Open Data Protocol) is a protocol specifically designed for building and consuming RESTful APIs. It does not support SOAP.

Hi @JamesW72 ,

The SOAP Gateway of IFS Connect serves specifically for integrations, focusing solely on integration endpoints rather than main endpoints. If you require SOAP-based integration endpoints, you can accomplish this through IFS CONNECT.
