HI @Tejaskumar_Darji
It does support SOAP api's but you may also want to try setting it up as a soap web service within blueprism first which is within the system part of blueprism as shown in the screen shot below. If the one you are connecting to is using a wsdl then this is the best option as you just need to provide the wsdl URL and the service will auto populate the actions as well as the inputs and outputs. I recently had to set up a soap service for client and soap service in BP didnt have all the actions and inputs/outputs so to get this working you can use the HTTP utility but what you need to do is provide the xml requests for each action as POST method and the content type as "application/soap+xml". (example screenshot below).
However I found the best way to do this was actually set up a soap service within BP to house all the actions and inputs so I didnt need to repeat the development each time I used the service. To do that you just need to create a web service as usual and for each action you create set the methods to post and in the body content set this as template and input the example XML request you will use for this action. Then you just need to set the inputs for it, you wont need to set the outputs as you will just get an XML response but for inputs the names of the inputs should match the names of the inputs from the request xml.
I should mention that with soap actions you will get an xml response but the xml will return a single string instead of formatted. This means you cant etract the relevant info until its formatted so to resolve this you will need to create a new coded action for pretty print within the xml utility (Code provided below). I also found this one git hub which really helped me with extracting all the relevant info from the response BlueprismVBO/BPA Object - Utility - XML2Collection.xml at master · aikudinov/BlueprismVBO · GitHub
I know thats a lot of info to give you all at once but let me know if you need any more info. Hope this helps 🙂
Dim sw As New StringWriter()
Dim xw As New XmlTextWriter(sw)
Dim doc As New XmlDocument
xw.Formatting = Formatting.Indented
xw.Indentation = 4
'Dim doc As New XmlDocument
doc.LoadXml(PrettyText)
doc.Save(xw)
xFile = sw.ToString()
'xFile = doc

Hi Michael,
Thanks for the detailed solution.
I tried to download and import the VBO BlueprismVBO/BPA Object - Utility - XML2Collection.xml at master · aikudinov/BlueprismVBO · GitHub but the import failed with the below details:
I am using BP 6.10.4, can you share the version which can be imported in this if you already are using it?
Many Thanks
