With Sonic ESB, an OpenEdge service can be accessed directly as a Web service by an industry Web service client, or it can participate in workflow processes managed by Sonic ESB. The functions of the OpenEdge service are managed and made accessible entirely within the Sonic ESB environment. For more information on how to access and use an OpenEdge service, see OpenEdge Development: Messaging and ESB. For information on how to deploy (install) and manage OpenEdge services in the Sonic ESB environment, see the information on managing the OpenEdge Adapter for Sonic ESB in OpenEdge Application Server: Administration.
