Might be something that you could do with MQ Series. It seems to run on a lot of different hardware. I don't know a lot about SOAP. But I think it is a request to exchange information. I think you could set up one MQ queue to send the request. And another to receive the response. You would need some type of tracking number to match the original request to the response. MQ has the added feature that if one of the servers is down, the messages just queue up until the down server is back.

So, finally, I am going to ask the question. We would like to subscribe to an address verification service on the web. When an address is entered or changed on our system, we want to send a call to a web-service. We do approx. 150,000 address entries per month. (Some month's will be bigger than that and some month's will be less than that) We have considered and rejected scrubbing our entire database of addresses. It was thought that only the currently active addresses need to be corrected and if an old customer decides to become active again, we'll verify them at that time. The service that we think we're going to go with uses SOAP, if that helps. Has this type of interface been done already? If so, how did you do it? I mean, can you make the calls directly from UniBasic or did you create a flat-file and export it to Unix first? If you export it to Unix, did you use Perl? Or some other tool? Also, this whole process needs to be pretty quick since it is a Order-entry screen. We would appreciate any help that you all can offer! Thanks in advance, R.
