You must use the Automation Orchestrator Client to configure the SOAP plug-in.

The Configuration workflow category contains workflows that allow you to manage SOAP hosts.

To access these workflows in the Automation Orchestrator Client, navigate to Library > Workflows and enter the soap and configuration tags in the workflow search box.

Workflow Name Description
Add a SOAP host Adds a SOAP host to the plug-in inventory.
Reload plug-in configuration Refreshes the list of SOAP hosts in the plug-in inventory.
Remove a SOAP host

Removes a SOAP host from the plug-in inventory.

Caution: When you remove a host from the inventory, all workflows generated from it stop working.
Update a SOAP host Updates a SOAP host in the plug-in inventory.
Update a SOAP host with an endpoint URL Updates a SOAP host with a preferred endpoint address. The new endpoint address is used for sending and receiving SOAP messages, instead of the endpoint address defined within the WSDL.
