Introduction > What is SOAP/AM Client?

The SOAP/AM Client allows NonStop applications to access, or "consume", Web services on any platform anywhere in the world. SOAP/AM hides the complexity of TCP/IP, HTTP, SSL and SOAP required to participate in Web services.

 

Your NonStop application simply sends a formatted interprocess message (IPM) to the SOAP/AM Client Process (SOAPAMCP) which handles all of the details of mapping the IPM elements to a SOAP envelope, exchanging the SOAP envelope with the Web service provider, and parsing the SOAP response into the reply IPM.
