Automating SOA and Cloud Applications with UC4 Web Services

Automation across cloud and service-oriented architecture (SOA) environments can be challenging. Because the Web services applications that run in these environments are loosely coupled components rather than distinct systems, traditional automation methods won’t work. UC4 Agent for Web Services bridges the gap between old and new applications. In this way, it eliminates repetitive and error-prone manual processes and frees your IT staff to focus on more strategic issues.

By automating your Web service-enabled applications and integrating them with all your other applications, it lets you automate processing across your entire enterprise.

UC4 Agent for Web Services automates cloud applications by executing Web Services Description Language (WSDL) and Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) Web services—and it does so with little or no scripting. Integrate cloud-based workflow and business process management with your traditional background automations, giving you a single, automation solution that works across your entire computing infrastructure—physical, virtual, and cloud-based.

With UC4 Web Services, you can:

Save Time and Improve Accuracy
Eliminate manual tasks, saving time for both end users and IT staff and improving process accuracy and consistency across the enterprise.

Trigger Processes Based on Events or Time
Set up automated processes to be triggered by any of a number of events—arrival of a file, a change in data repository values, the arrival of a console message, and more. You can also set up processes to execute transactions based on the contents of a file or table, or on a calendar or time basis.

Easily Set Up and Manage Web Service Automation
Install the UC4 Agent for Web Services in a matter of minutes, and create jobs easily, with little or no scripting—an advantage not available in any other Web service automation product. Just point UC4’s agent to a URL, and it will automatically discover all the available methods that can be executed, and all available input and response values for each one.
