parameters being passed.
Web services, a SOAP class of applications, expose their services via the Internet in a manner that lets
other applications access them, as well as use and combine them as required.
In order to access and successfully use Web services, client applications must know how to get them,
what operations they support, what parameters they expect, as well as what they return. SOAP servers
make this information available via WSDL (Web Service Description Language) files.
To configure a given SOAP Client plugin task in the PReS Workflow Configuration program, you must

should use an HTTP connection to get the file and then switch back to a secure connection). This lets
