App Connect

Hi All,

We are planning to migrate webservices from SOAP to Rest in IBM App Connect.  Is there any link I can refer to check for the approach/methods to migrate ?

Thanks

Migrating from SOAP to REST in IBM App Connect involves several key steps. First, analyze your existing SOAP service, documenting its WSDL, methods, and parameters to map them to REST operations. Then, create new REST APIs within App Connect, mapping the SOAP operations to the corresponding REST methods. You'll also need to handle data transformation, converting XML (used in SOAP) to JSON (for REST). Additionally, ensure security is properly configured, especially if your SOAP service uses WS-Security, by implementing OAuth, API keys, or Basic Authentication for the REST API. After recreating the operations, thoroughly test the new REST endpoints to confirm they function correctly and the data transformations are accurate. Finally, document the new API and configure monitoring in App Connect. IBM's documentation provides further details to assist with each step of this migration.
