The Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) BIC provides a mechanism for process flows to make use of this protocol in order to send or retrieve information from a remote source. SOAP defines the use of Extensible Markup Language (XML) and Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) to access services, objects, and servers in a platform-independent manner. Moreover, the SOAP BIC provides client access to existing SOAP services.
This BIC has been made obsolete by newer protocols.
