My $.02 is that you should not. I had significant performance/memory leak issues using SUDS in Jython 2.5. The easiest solution for us at the time was using the Sepasoft web services module, as the plant production was dependent on the app in question. I cannot say whether Jython 2.7 would have the same issues with hanging connections when using the SUDS library. It may be fixed, but the SUDS library is still unmaintained, regardless. IMO, even if it works for you, you may be buying yourself a maintenance nightmare. > [@SUDS Web Service Calls Gobbling up TCP Connections on Gateway](http://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/suds-web-service-calls-gobbling-up-tcp-connections-on-gateway/18125): > > I have an application that connects to an SAP WSDL to create, cancel, and lookup inventory information. Ignition v7.9.4, using built-in SUDS libraries. I’m able to connect to the web service, and call all methods on the wsdl without issue, but I’m running into a problem with opening and hanging up TCP connections. I have a gateway timer script that runs once a minute. It opens a client once each time the script is called, then does a query for inventory units that have recently been created,… --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/should-i-integrate-erp-to-ignition-using-soap-and-wsdl-in-2021/41906)._
