A web service transport (SOAP) provides a configurable HTTP or HTTPS based SOAP client to interact with a HTTP SOAP-based web services server. Enterprise Business systems typically front-end their business applications, such as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), with a web services server. The web service (SOAP) transport allows a request-response invocation mechanism where data can be returned by the web services server. This transport does not allow an enterprise business system to make a web services call to the node.
This transport is available with a Limited Release status. For more information on the release status of enterprise transports, see Enterprise transports Feature Matrix.
As a pre-requisite, you must be familiar with the concepts of web services, the web service description language (WSDL), and the specific web service that will be accessed by the web service transport and transport map.
