Overview of Business Services Server

The Business Services Server provides interoperability between JD Edwards EnterpriseOne and other Oracle applications and third-party systems by natively producing and consuming web services. It can also send XML over HTTP(s) in an asynchronous request/reply model when the third party does not support web service calls. The business services server is built on top of a Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) server, which can be an Oracle WebLogic Server or a WebSphere Application Server. Applications that are developed or run on the Business Services Server are written in the Java programming language.

The business services server exposes business services as web services. A web service is a standardized way of integrating web-based applications, and in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne, web services are referred to as published business services. Business services provide operations that access the business logic in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne for many supported business transactions, such as journal entries, exchange rates, accounts payable vouchers, inventory look-ups, pricing, sales orders, etc and they enable JD Edwards EnterpriseOne to expose transactions as a basic service that can expose an XML document-based interface.
