IMS SOAP Gateway project

This topic describes scenarios typical for the IMS™ SOAP Gateway project

The IMS SOAP Gateway is a lightweight Web service solution that enables IMS applications to interoperate outside of the IMS environment through SOAP to provide and request services independently of platform, environment, application language, or programming model. You can enable IMS COBOL applications for Web services by using the Enterprise Service Tools to generate Web service artifacts for IMS COBOL applications. You then deploy these Web service artifacts to the IMS SOAP Gateway to make an IMS application available as a Web service. Different types of client applications, such as Microsoft®.NET, Java™ and third-party applications, can then submit SOAP requests into IMS to drive the business logic of the COBOL applications.
