1. Setting up HTTP Client Sherpaan

1.1 Steps

1. In the Alumio Dashboard, go to Clients > SOAP Client. Create a new SOAP Client and select the Sherpaan Soap Client as the prototype of the SOAP Client.
2. Fill in the WSDL URI, SOAP Version, Storage for Cache (Optional), HTTP Client (use Default if none)
3. Save the HTTP Client.

​

2. Subscribing to Entities from Sherpaan

2.1 Steps

1. Go to Connections -> Incoming and create a new incoming configuration and select Sherpaan Subscriber as the subscriber.
2. Select the Method you want to subscribe from Sherpaan.
3. (Optional) Add any request parameters needed to subscribe to the entity.
4. You can optionally add a transformer to transform the request parameters into something you need.
5. Select the Sherpaan HTTP Client to use for the SOAP Client.

2.2 General Concept We followed the Sherpaan documentation when building this connector, so you can easily use the connector based on the Sherpaan API Reference. Method This is the operation you can subscribe to from Sherpaan. Please refer to the reference in https://services3.sherpaan.nl/317/Sherpa.asmx. Request Parameters These are the parameters you can provide to get the required method based on the Sherpaan API Reference, the Request Parameters provided in the JSON Schema, and it will be encoded into XML based on the SOAP Version. Please look at the example below on how to fill the Request Parameters field when subscribing to the “GetResponse” Method. Input Transformer Any transformers set here will be executed after the Request Parameters are loaded. So, you can basically add any transformer to provide and transform the request parameters into anything you need. SOAP Client This is the SOAP Client configuration you will use to access Sherpaan.

3. Publishing entity to Sherpaan

3.1 Steps

1. Go to Connections -> Outgoing, create a new outgoing configuration and select Sherpaan Publisher as the publisher.
2. Select the Sherpaan Method you want the data to be published to.
3. Select the Sherpaan HTTP Client to use for the SOAP Client.

3.2 General Concept Like the subscriber, the publisher has similar methods on how to use it. The difference is the payload that will be submitted by the publisher originating from the data (from routes, from transformers in outgoing configuration). Method This is the operation you can subscribe to from Sherpaan. Please refer to the reference in https://services3.sherpaan.nl/317/Sherpa.asmx. For Methods that require an object as the request payload, please look at the example below. For example, we want to Create a Thread. Please select “Orderinfo”” as the Method of the publisher. Alumio will send all the data into Sherpaan, here is an example of the Method we just used. SOAP Client This is the SOAP Client configuration you will use to access Sherpaan.
