Requesting Task Execution through a TCP/IP Connection
The following diagram shows the components used to request the execution of a task through a TCP/IP connection:
All of these components can be configured through the basic Windchill installation. As shown in the diagram, requests to execute standalone tasks can come from both custom Java applications and JSP pages. In addition, requests can come from SOAP requests that come from third-party applications through the Info*Engine SOAP servlets.
