Permitted integrations

The inbound and outbound connections for your applications are explained in this topic.

By default, all inbound and outbound connections are closed in the IBM Sterling® Order Management System cloud environment. However, integration with external systems is permitted through IBM MQ, RESTful APIs, and SOAP APIs over HTTPS for outbound calls and through IBM MQ and RESTful APIs for inbound calls.

In a standard implementation, the inbound and outbound connections between Sterling™ Order Management System and external systems can be established by using IBM MQ over the port 1415 and through RESTful APIs over the port 443. These are the default listening ports and you are not limited to use only the mentioned ports. However, you must enable your external IPs and expose the required ports so that Sterling Order Management System can communicate with the external systems.
