The AppServer Internet Adapter (AIA) Web-enables the AppServer and the OpenEdge Adapter for SonicMQ BrokerConnect (BrokerConnect) by supporting HTTP and HTTPS protocols for sending information across the Internet. In addition, the HTTP and HTTPS protocols provide a way for clients to access an AppServer or a BrokerConnect connection when the client and server are separated by firewalls that limit connections to HTTP and HTTPS.
For more information on the architecture of the AIA and how it supports OpenEdge application services, see
OpenEdge Getting Started: Application and Integration Services. For more information on OpenEdge Adapter for SonicMQ architecture, see
OpenEdge Getting Started: Application and Integration Services. For information on how to build OpenEdge application services for the Internet and connect to them from ABL clients, see
OpenEdge Application Server: Developing Appserver Applications. For information on how to connect Open Client applications to OpenEdge application services over the Internet, see
OpenEdge Development: Open Client Introduction and Programming. You can also use the Progress Knowledge Center on the Web (
