SOAP/AM Server Components |

SOAP/AM Server
The SOAP/AM Server is an NSK-based process that accepts SOAP XML-formatted messages via HTTP over TCP/IP. SOAP/AM Server converts each SOAP requests into your server's own interprocess message format before forwarding to the server. When your server replies, SOAP/AM Server converts the interprocess message into a SOAP response which it returns to the calling application. The SOAP/AM Server supports SSL and TLS to guarantee the security of your transactions.
Although the primary role of the SOAP/AM Server is messaging, it also provides web access to the other components of SOAP/AM.
SOAP/AM Virtual File System (VFS)
The SOAP/AM Virtual File System is a web-accessible hierarchical folder system that is located on your NonStop server. Its primary purpose is to act as a repository for the Service Definition Files (SDF) that describe your web services. You access the VFS as "Web Folder" through the SOAP/AM Server. The VFS features folder-level access control.
SOAP/AM Control Panel
The SOAP/AM Control Panel is a browser-based application that lets you manage the SOAP/AM Server environment. Using the Control Panel, you can set access control permissions, security requirements and user impersonation settings on folders in the Virtual File System, and install and manage the server's digital certificate.
SOAP/AM Service Definition Wizard
The SOAP/AM Service Definition Wizard is a browser-based application that helps you easily set up your servers as Web services. You specify a name for your service and its methods, the name of your Guardian or Pathway server and, if available, the DDL definitions that describe the interprocess message formats that your server uses. The wizard records the information in a Service Definition File (.sdf) for you.
