Scenario

During development, Human Resources (HR) business partners integrate with a legacy application to identify the latitude and longitude of a provided postal code. As the application is migrated from a development environment to a staging environment and then to a production environment, the endpoint URL requires an update.

Using the Application Settings simplify maintenance of the SOAP connector integration settings, implement the Application settings for endpoint URL, response timeout, and authentication profile. As the HRApps application is migrated from development to production, the integration settings can be updated by configuring Application Settings.

Note: The endpoint URL used in this exercise does not change, as the SOAP connector URL used in this challenge is the same across the development phases.
  • Create a Category to manage a group of integration settings.
  • Create Application Settings to store endpoint URL, response timeout, and authentication profile.
Note: The Application Settings you create are used in a later challenge to prevent guardrail warnings.

The following table provides the credentials you need to complete the challenge.
