Introduction > What is SOAP/AM Server ?

SOAP/AM Server is a software product for NonStop Servers that allows you to expose your existing Guardian or Pathway servers as industry-standard Web services. These Web services can then be accessed from SOAP-enabled clients running on virtually any computing platform. SOAP/AM Server does this while maintaining the security, reliability and scalability of your NonStop Server and applications.

 

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. There's no need to change your existing servers so any existing client applications are unaffected.

 

 

The SOAP/AM Control Panel is a browser-based user interface that lets you manage the SOAP/AM environment with just a few clicks of your mouse.

 

SOAP/AM Server also includes the SOAP/AM Service Definition Wizard™, a browser-based application that helps you easily set up your servers as Web services.
