Hi John
The way that you are describing it - I am definitely wrong in my discussion
The web service call is FROM the Azure server TO the iSeries
Strange, no one has pointed out my mistake before today

Alan,
One thing that I find confusing is your use of the term "consume". It seems to me that you are using it either inconsistently or backwards.
In the phrase "consume a web service", it is the client who is doing the consuming. Whichever party is initiating a request is the client.
Whichever party is listening for incoming requests and sending responses back is the server. The server is the one *providing* the web service; the client is the one *consuming* it.
If you aren't confident that you can keep it straight, I recommend you just talk in terms of client versus server, or initiating requests versus responding to requests. That will reduce the chance for confusion when you're talking with other people.
