Configuration

Gerard Order

In the first step, Order is sent from Steadfast to Gerard Industries through Transfocus Middleware. In this scenario, Transfocus Middleware acts as a Pass-Through component where Order comes from Steadfast to the middleware and just passes through the middleware. Middleware does processing like column selection, data filtering, and data mapping. It then passes data to FoxPro API.

For this Pass-Through Integration, It is a kind of connecting Inbound API to Outbound API. Inbound API is where data is posted to Middleware. For this specific case, data is posted at the middleware endpoint (gerardorder). Middleware then calls outbound FoxPro API.

Order Pass-Through Integration

In this type of Integration, Inbound Type is set to API, and Outbound Type is also set to API

Inbound Settings

Here are some consideration while configuring Pass-Through Inbound settings

• There is nothing related to Scheduler so the Inbound Schedule is empty.

• The Inbound HTTP method is POST and data will be posted to the Inbound API URL.

• The Inbound API is secured by API key whereas API key name and API key value are chosen.

• There are no fixed Query String Parameters in Inbound API, So leaving it blank.

Processing Settings

As this just Pass-Through, there is nothing configured in the processing section.

Outbound Settings

The Outbound setting will be used when data will be passed to FoxPro API

• As provided by the Outbound service provider, the Outbound HTTP method is POST and data will be posted to the Outbound API URL.

• The Outbound service provider also provided security credentials to access the API. It is the API key in this case. So API key name, API key value is fixed.
