Update Zuora Connection Settings

We recommend that you update your Zuora Connection Settings using the latest Zuora WSDL version. You may encounter a "Server Exception" error if your connection setting uses an old WSDL version.

For example, a new field, RenewalSetting, was added to the Subscription object in WSDL 62.0 To avoid a server exception error, you should update your Zuora connection setting with the 62.0 or higher version of WSDL.

See Zuora Connection Settings for updating the settings to connect to your Zuora instance.
