Overview of this book

OutSystems is a software development platform that speeds up the build phase by abstracting code and making almost everything visual. This means replacing textual language with visual artifacts that avoid lexical errors and speed up code composition using accelerators and predefined templates. The book begins by walking you through the fundamentals of the technology, along with a general overview of end-to-end web and mobile software development. You'll learn how to configure your personal area in the cloud and use the OutSystems IDE to connect with it. The book then shows you how to build a web application based on the best architectural and developmental practices in the market, and takes the same approach for the mobile paradigm. As you advance, you'll find out how to develop the same application, and the great potential of reusing code from one paradigm in another and the symbiosis between them is showcased.The only application that'll differ from the application in the exercise is the one used in business process technology (BPT), with a focus on a common market use case. By the end of this OutSystems book, you'll be able to develop enterprise-level applications on the web and mobile, integrating them with third parties and other systems on the market. You'll also understand the concepts of performance, security, and software construction and be able to apply them effectively.

Chapter 14: Integrating OutSystems with Your Ecosystem

When we reach an enterprise level, we need to integrate the OutSystems platform with the existing systems in the enterprise ecosystem. For this, we have to resort to different ways of doing it, from connections to web services (REST/SOAP or SAP), connections to external databases, or even, in the case of older legacy systems, through customized C#/.NET extensions. Using the last one, we can also extend features that are not found in OutSystems through native code.

To understand all this, the chapter is divided into the following sections:

  • Creating your own C#/.NET code and using it inside the OutSystems platform
  • Connecting with external databases
  • Connecting with other systems through web services (REST/SOAP)

By the end of this chapter, we should understand how to set up the necessary connections to external systems and how to assess the best way to do this. We should understand the importance of Integration...
