The following procedure describes the steps to connect to an AB Suite system without using Component Enabler and RATL. You can deploy AB Suite Windows Runtime systems as COM+ applications and the runtime systems can interact as web service by using SOAP messages.
The Web Service is a means of communication by virtue through which two software systems can communicate to each other through SOAP messages over the internet. SOAP is a protocol that relies on an abstract XML document for its message format and relies on HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) or SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) for negotiation and transmission of messages.
In the following example, the SAMPLE model that is deployed on localhost and IIS10 is used. You should perform the following to access an AB Suite system from a Web Service without using Component Enabler:
Configure IIS10
Deploy the SAMPLE model
Create View
Create virtual directory
Open the Discovery Tool in Internet Explorer
Access the Web Service
