Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) endpoint calls make all business entity services available as web services. You can make SOAP calls to create, delete, update, and search for records in a business entity. You can perform operations, such as merge, unmerge, and match records. You can also make SOAP calls to create, update, and search for tasks and perform tasks.
The SOAP endpoints for business entity services use the Web Services Security (WS-Security) UsernameToken to authenticate users.
Before you use the SOAP APIs to call the business entity services, validate the Operational Reference Store.
