To successfully create and execute a CICS Web service using
Enterprise Developer and
Enterprise Server, ensure that you have:
- Installed the IBM-37, IBM-437, and 002501B5 CCSID tables
- Created and configured an
Enterprise Developer project to support CICS Web services
- Created and configured an
enterprise server region on which to run the Web service
CCSID Tables
The CICS Web services feature requires that you install the appropriate IBM CCSID tables, and then configure your
enterprise server region to reference them. For instructions, see
To install CCSID tables.
Enterprise Developer Projects for CWS
Use these guidelines to create and configure an
Enterprise Developer project for CWS:
- Create the project using the
Mainframe Subsystem Application template.
- Set the following project properties on the COBOL tab:
- COBOL dialect:
Micro Focus
- Character set:
ASCII
- Mainframe group: Check
EXEC CICS
Note: This topic addresses settings specific to CICS Web services development for execution on an
enterprise server region. The development environment for CICS Web services running on alternative runtime platforms might require alternative settings.
Enterprise Server Regions for CWS
Use these guidelines to create and configure an
enterprise server region on which to run a CICS Web service:
- Create the
enterprise server region using the provided
CICSTemplate.xml template.
- In
Enterprise Server Monitor and Control (ESMAC), add the following provided resources to your startup list, which is DEMOSTRT by default:
- Update the System Initialization Table (SIT), which is DEMOSIT by default, to specify a CCSID code set identifier of
37 in the
Local CCSID field. For details, see
To specify a CCSID table in the CICS SIT.
- If your CICS application running on
Enterprise Server uses the ASCII character set, you must configure your region to convert from EBCDIC to ASCII. For details, see
To convert an EBCDIC CCSID to ASCII.
