Attention: This feature is in Early Adopter Product (EAP) release status. We intend to provide the finalized feature in a future release. Please contact
Micro Focus SupportLine if you require further clarification.
The CICS Web Services feature is EAP for development and testing usage. It should not be used for production deployment in this product release.
- In Visual Studio, create or open a Mainframe Subsystem project that contains a WSDL file that describes a CICS application.
- In the Solution Explorer, right-click the WSDL file; then select
Generate Web Service from the context menu.
On the Generate Web Service dialog box, the selected WSDL file appears in the
From field.
- To use a different WSDL file, select an alternative file from the
From drop-down list. Optional.
- Select the
Service radio button.
- Optionally, provide an alternative service name in the
Service Name field.
- Check
CICS.
- In the
Program group
Name field, optionally provide an alternative program name for the generated skeleton CICS COBOL program.
Note: The program name must be eight characters or fewer to comply with CICS naming rules.
- Select either the
Commarea or
Channel type.
- If using the
Channel type, optionally provide an alternative container name.
- Click
OK.
Enterprise Developer generates and adds a skeleton CICS COBOL program and a service interface (.svi) file to the current project in a folder with the same name as the specified program name.
Tip: For a description of each field and control on the Generate Web Service dialog box, see the
Generate Web Service dialog box reference topic.
