CWS does not support CICS applications that use both COMP and COMP-5 items. By default, the mapping module generate COMP-5
SYNC items rather than COMP. CWS supports CICS applications that use COMP declarations when the ES_CWS_WSBIND_COMP environment
variable is set to
Y.
CICS Web services in
Enterprise Developer supports the COBOL programming language exclusively.
Features that are not supported by CICS Web services in
Enterprise Developer include but are not limited to the following:
Web Services security
Web Services addressing
MTOM/XOP optimization of binary data
Web Services Atomic Transactions
Pipeline exits
xsd:any
xsd:anytype
base64Binary type
Nillable attribute
Run-time validation
When using the ES_TRANCLASS_CWI environment variable with CICS® Transaction Server for z/OS®, Version 3 Release 1, and IBM
CICS initiates the ATTACH transaction followed by the ALIAS transaction for a single Web request, this is intended to enable
the application of different limitations and priorities on these transactions.
Enterprise Server does not support this. Instead, a TRANCLASS-enabled region processes the requests as a single ATTACH transaction, and uses
the ALIAS transaction for security checks.
