This software enables FileMaker script publishing as XML Web Services.
360Works Web Services Manager is an efficient software that provides an easy way to publish your FileMaker scripts as XML Web Services. This enables seamless integration with FileMaker from any other system, programming language, operating system, or hardware. Once you have installed and configured Web Services Manager, any SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) compatible software can trigger FileMaker scripts using the industry-standard SOAP XML format.
The published Web Services are indistinguishable from any other SOAP server, which establishes FileMaker on par with any other IT solution. By using 360Works Web Services Manager, you can integrate otherwise incompatible software solutions with FileMaker and import/export information to FileMaker databases as needed.
To facilitate seamless integration, a FileMaker-based control panel is available to access or configure which scripts should be exposed, how parameters should be passed as input, password requirements, and which fields should be returned as the XML result. Tooltips guide you through the configuration process.
360Works Web Services Manager generates a WSDL (Web Services Description Language) that describes the available services automatically. This can then be called by any SOAP compatible software. The Manager is designed with performance and scalability in mind, which means it bypasses intermediary layers such as the FileMaker PHP API or FX.PHP, and triggers scripts by communicating directly with the FileMaker Web Publishing XML gateway.
The Manager streams the result, which enables it to return more data than can fit in the available memory of the server that it is running on. There is no maximum limit on the number of records that can be returned by the FileMaker script. It is reasonable to expect anywhere from 2-10 transactions per second under constant load.
360Works Web Services Manager is not a plugin. There is no software that needs to be installed on any client machines. Installation consists of putting two FileMaker databases on your server and copying a single PHP file to your Web Publishing Engine. Once done, you will be able to access and manage your FileMaker database through SOAP seamlessly.
