We can see in this drawing that "Web Services" are described on the ERP side.

But is this referring to the concept of Web Services simply because data is being transferred in XML format, or is it actually referring to BC's exposed SOAP-based Web Services, which Microsoft has deprecated and will shut down in 2026?

Hi Kevin,

Our current code units (plug-in unit) used by Live Integration are exposed through a SOAP web service. Microsoft announced several years ago that SOAP web services would be deprecated, but the deadline has been pushed back year after year. Code units exposed through SOAP are still available in BC28.

We have started moving to OData five years ago, and we will have a new Live Integration using OData in the future. If you take a look at our OData provider and Blueprints on the documentation site, you will see how to use this for batch: https://doc.dynamicweb.dev/manual/dynamicweb10/integration/guides/blueprints/index.html

OK, thanks - that means that now that Microsoft is going to Remove the SOAP Webservices in BC29 (in 2026) this is becoming critical for any customer that has not moved to OData or something else yet.

Hi Kevin,
the documentation is saying about deprecation of the SOAP web services that use the Pages:
"Support for publishing Microsoft UI pages as SOAP web services will be removed in Business Central 2026"
But our application is using the Codeunit exposed as a web service, so there is no news about this kind of SOAP web sevices deprecation.
It works without any warnings about that kind of web services in BC 28 preview (will be released in 2026 Wave1):
BR, 
Dmitrij

Ahh that was a bit more precise answer, thanks. Couldn't really find any information whether the Codeunit part was dependent on the BC Pages Webservices.

But your "Codeunit exposed webservices" aren't really SOAP webservices right? - it's just XML input/output?

Hi Kevin,
no the Codeunits are not depending on the BC Pages exposed as Webservies. The codeunits exposed as a Web Services is just a second way of doing that.
In BC there are two different ways of exposing the SOAP web services:

one: Pages exposed as SOAP web services - that will be deprecated (and it was never recommended to do/implement services in that way)second way: Codeunits exposed as SOAP web services - there are no news about this way being deprecated/deleted/not supported/etc.

BR, Dmitrij
