Hi Roger, If I am not mistaken, the midtier is required if you are publishing a web service to be consumed by an external program. The external program will use the midtier server
e.g. http://<midtier_server>/arsys/WSDL/<ARServer>/<Web Service Name> I think if you are consuming an external web service, you only need the JRE and not the midtier. Mike.

Here is my configuration: ARS 6.03 patch 16 WINDOWS 2003 SQL 2K No mid-tier We are creating a .NET help desk ticket application for our Engineering group. Currently they use Remedy but due to some personal issues the decision was made to move the Remedy application to a move advanced platform. Please do not ask any questions as to why this decision was made. My mother always told me if you can?t say something nice about someone don?t say anything at all. That being said we need to integrate Remedy with this new .NET system. I need to be able to create tickets in the new system and they need to be able to update my tickets as well as create tickets in Remedy. They have developed a Web Service for me to use to create tickets in the new system. As I understand it this will allow me to pass data to the new system and receive their ticket number back. We were originally going to user the .NET API to allow them to update/create tickets in my system. It was suggested to me that maybe we could use a Web Service created on the Remedy side instead of the API. I have been looking at the documentation for creating a Web Service and that has led me to this posting. My first question is how is this possible without using the Mid-Tier? As I stated, this is new to me and I am not sure I fully understand it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Roger A.
