Notes

Additional setup

The Prima Solutions connector has some specific behaviour that must be considered when you work with this connection in process flows. For further information please see our page.

Setting up a Prima Solutions connection

Introduction

Typically, connectors are defined with endpoints which determine exactly what data is being requested (pull customer records, post product details, etc.). However, the Prima Solutions connector works in a different way, with two generic endpoints:

comwsomhandler
wsomhandler

The actual data required for a request must be passed into the Prima Solutions connection shape, as part of your process flow. You do this via a shape.

Whatever is defined for the manual payload is passed into the body of the subsequent Prima Solutions connection request.

Finally - once a successful connection is made - the response must be converted from XML to JSON, ready for onward processing.

With this in mind, a process flow that needs to pull data from Prima Solutions will usually require three shapes in the following sequence:

Manual payload shape, which includes the required in an XML string
Connection shape, configured with a Prima Solutions endpoint
Script shape, configured with an

For example:
