Overview
Get more value from your trusted IMS applications assets in an SOA environment using IMS Enterprise Suite SOAP Gateway, without requiring any changes to your business logic.
With SOAP Gateway:
Your proven IMS applications can provide and request web services independent of platform, environment, application language, or programming model.
Your IMS applications can send business event data to business event processing and monitoring engines such as such as IBM WebSphere® Business Events and IBM Business Monitor. Using the graphical tooling interface and runtime engines in WebSphere Business Events and IBM Business Monitor, business users can define and manage business events, proactively monitor IMS business activities, instrument IMS business logic, identify new business opportunities, and mitigate risks.
Different types of client applications, such as Microsoft® .NET, Java™, and third-party applications, can submit SOAP requests into IMS to drive the business logic of your COBOL or PL/I applications.
You do not need a full-blown application server (such as a JEE server) to integrate your IMS assets in an SOA environment.
