Idea - SOAP / methods: only count used methods as an AO

SOAP / methods: only count used methods as an AO

Not right now

Data & Integrations

In this forum entry I described my problem with a SOAP webservice: https://www.outsystems.com/forums/discussion/21378/integration-soap-api-number-of-application-objects/

This webservice results in over 100 methods of which I only use 3. It's an external WSDL my app consumes, maintained by our CRM application provider. OutSystems counts ALL methods as an AO, thus resulting in a 'very expensive' integration.

Wouldn't it be more fair if OutSystems only counts the used methods generated out of the consumed WSDL? I guess Service Center should be able to determine the number of methods used, because also Service Studio can tell if and where a method is used.

There'd be functional problems with this. Because e.g. like you described in your post, strutures are also involved. Do you need SS to be so smart that it can know the structure is created for a not-used SOAP reference? What to do with other structures that you define by hand but don't use? Etc.

Hi Charles,

Sorry for the late reply, but we are not planning on delivering this in the near future.

The investment to do this properly is too big for the return and for the upcoming new features that we have in mind. Because of this, I’m marking this idea as “not right now”.

Nonetheless, thank you very much for your idea and keep it coming.

If you believe we missed some context that would change our perception about it, please give us more details about why you would need this and for what is the use case.

Thanks!
