Thank you for the response. That is good information. I did get confirmation from Datacap that WSE is only needed if using the old http connection to P8. The new https connection internally uses WCF.instead of WSE.

The early versions of the .Net API which supported only WSE used some WSE-specific classes in the public API. This was rectified at the time WCF support was introduced, allowing applications to be completely independent of the underlying transport used within the API. So the question would be whether Datacap was updated from the old WSE-specific APIs to the new neutral APIs. Since we are talking about a change that occurred more than 15 years ago I would be very surprised if that had not been done, but it would take someone from the Datacap team to confirm (or trying it).

Our server admins are saying we have to get rid of WSE on our servers since it is no longer supported software. They say we need to migrate from to WCF. We are currently using Datacap 9.1.5 but are in the process of upgrading to 9.1.9. I know all of our installation instructions that we use say that WSE is needed when installing and using Datacap. What does Datacap use WSE for and can it be removed or migrated to something else?
