As the world is
turning to Web Services, so are we. We are implementing
a SOA layer to allow you to interface with PRIMAC using
industry standard Web Service Technology.
We are incorporating Web Service technology into all of
our products to provide real-time data across all of our
modules. Scheduling, P3 and Job Ticket can now all able
to retrieve real time information from PRIMAC.
What is Web Service
An XML Web service is a unit of application logic
providing data and services to other applications.
Applications access XML Web services via ubiquitous Web
protocols and data formats such as HTTP, XML, and SOAP,
with no need to worry about how each XML Web service is
implemented. XML Web services combine the best aspects
of component-based development and the Web.
They are a cornerstone of the Microsoft .NET programming
model.
XML Web services can be accessed by any language,
using any component model, running on any operating
system. They utilize HTTP as the underlying transport,
which allows function requests to pass through corporate
firewalls. XML is used to format the input and output
parameters of the request, so the request is not tied to
any particular component technology or object calling
convention.
The Microsoft .NET Framework makes it easy to write
components that communicate using HTTP GET, HTTP POST,
and SOAP.
Why to use web services
Web Services can convert your applications into
Web-applications.
By using Web services, your application can publish its
function or message to the rest of the world.
Web Services can be used by other applications.
With Web services your accounting department's Win 2k
servers can connect with your IT supplier's UNIX server.
The basic Web Services platform is XML + HTTP.
Web services uses XML to code and decode your data and
SOAP to transport it.
Primac Web Services
Primac can fit seamlessly into your
enterprise. Web services are available to retrieve
real-time information from Primac and even are able to
write data to Primac. Web services are available to the
following Primac modules:
