SOA enablement allows you to reuse core system application functionality and leverage the operational qualities of a system's transaction platform to new IT projects. You expose core system application functionality and data as web services at the screen or transaction level, and integrate with other environments that invoke web services.

In Software AG Designer, you can create procedures and use them to turn application functionality into web services. You can combine disparate data sources into web services using ApplinX entities such as screens, programs, databases, and external web services. ApplinX supports web service standards such as SOAP and WSDL, and JAXR for registering services in SOA registries such as CentraSite.
