Hi,
We have a progress 9.1D database with an ODBC driver. Currently, we are using a SaaS software to manage our internal workflows, and we wish to be able to extract some data from our database and make it available to the SaaS software we are using. I understood that we need to enable API access in order to do that. I saw different products like Apps server, internet adapter etc... but i'm a bit lost.
All i need is to be able to perform a simple http Get request to the database. what is the easiest way to do that? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Using Progress 9.1D you can not expose a WebService.
This option is available from OpenEdge v.10.0x.
But ... if you known 4GL langage, you just simply create a SERVER-SOCKET on the Progress side.
Here you can find some sample code source.
(The code sample is from v.10.2A, if there are errors ... then take a look to samples/sockets/WebServer)
