Explains the process of creating an
enterprise server region to run mainframe-based CICS and IMS services created using the IMTK.
The best way to create any
enterprise server region is from the Server Explorer in Visual Studio. This method enables you to select a template that populates the new
enterprise server region with the parameters required to run the type of service associated with it, saving you time and effort.
Use the provided
CICSTemplate.xml and
IMSTemplate.xml
Enterprise Server templates respectively to create new
enterprise server regions for your CICS- and IMS-based services. See
To create a new enterprise server for instructions.
Further configuration is generally required only if you intend to:
- Dynamically debug your service from
Enterprise Developer
- In this case, you must configure the
enterprise server instance by setting an
Endpoint Address for the type of listener associated with the service interface type. For example, if your service interface is a Web service, set the endpoint address for the
Web Services and J2EE listener.
Important: The port number in the endpoint address you specify must match the port number specified in the
Service endpoint URL properties for the service interface. The default is
9003. For more information, see
To set a fixed port in a listener endpoint address and the
Service endpoint URL section in the
Properties - Mainframe-based Service Interfaces topic.
- Configure the timeout for a service interface
- You can configure the time that the client waits for a response from a Web service by setting the ES_WS_RUNAWAY_TIMEOUT environment variable. ES_WS_RUNAWAY_TIMEOUT takes values between 0 and 65535 seconds. See
To set a run-time environment variable from your Visual Studio project for details.
