IMS Enterprise Suite SOAP Gateway project

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

The IMS Enterprise Suite 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 and PL/I applications for Web services by using the Enterprise Service Tools to generate Web service artifacts for IMS COBOL and PL/I applications. You then deploy these Web service artifacts to the IMS Enterprise Suite 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 and PL/I applications.

The following scenarios are supported:
