Note
This feature has no fixed availability date, as it depends heavily on Microsoft development, as described below.
Business value
By transitioning from the SOAP web services access protocol to OData V4, the Continia Web Approval Portal will remain fully functional when Microsoft eventually ends support for the SOAP protocol.
Feature details
The Web Approval Portal currently relies on the SOAP protocol in a number of ways, but this feature will mark the end of that reliance and the full transition to OData V4.
Continia has been actively investigating and planning to transition to OData V4 ever since Microsoft announced the deprecation of support for the SOAP protocol several years ago. However, since Microsoft hasn't yet provided fully viable paths for the migration to OData V4, it hasn't been possible for Continia to make the switch. As soon as Microsoft makes such migration paths available, thereby providing OData V4 support for the Web Approval Portal features that currently rely on SOAP, Continia will promptly transition the Web Approval Portal to OData V4.
