Solace
Solace provides an event streaming and management platform built around the PubSub+ event broker, which lets applications, microservices, and devices publish and subscribe to messages over queues and topics. The Solace connector enables you to publish messages to Solace topics and queues, receive messages individually or in a batch from a queue, acknowledge messages received in manual acknowledgement mode, and trigger recipes when new messages arrive on a queue or topic.
Prerequisites
You must have the following prerequisites to use the Solace connector:
- An active on-prem agent with a configured on-prem group.
- A Solace PubSub+ broker reachable from that on-prem agent, and its broker URL.
- Credentials for one of the connector's supported authentication types. Refer to the Solace Configuring Client Usernames guide for basic authentication credentials or the Solace Configuring OAuth Authorization guide for OAuth credentials.
- Optional. SEMP management endpoint credentials, if you want Workato to populate the queue name drop-down automatically instead of entering queue names manually.
