The ASE Web Services Engine acts as a producer of Web services by enabling a client application to access Adaptive Server Enterprise stored procedures and SQL using SOAP. The output of the ASE Web Services Engine complies with SQLX, which is defined as part of the ANSI specification for SQL.
Sybase® recommends
that you run the ASE Web Services Engine on the same machine as
Adaptive Server Enterprise.

The client can send a SQL or stored procedure command as a SOAP request, and any result is returned as a SOAP response. The data in the SOAP response conforms to the SQLX standard.
