Chapter 34: Web Services

Adaptive Server Enterprise Web Services consists of two components, a Web Services Producer and a Web Services Consumer. Both components run independently of Adaptive Server Enterprise.

The Web Services Producer component enables client applications to access SQL and stored procedures in Adaptive Server Enterprise using the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP).
The Web Services Consumer component enables Adaptive Server Enterprise to access the Web services of other applications. These external Web services are mapped to an Adaptive Server Enterprise proxy table at runtime.

This topic includes information on the following procedures you can perform using Sybase Central:
