An extractor is a tool contained in the EntireX Workbench to extract an IDL file from a variety of sources, for example COBOL, Natural, WSDL.
This document lists the Software AG IDL extractors and provides links to the relevant sections of the documentation.
The Software AG IDL Extractor for COBOL enables you to extract the interface of a COBOL server and transforms it into a Software AG IDL and a Software AG server mapping file. Both files are required to provide access for any RPC client to the COBOL server.
See Software AG IDL Extractor for COBOL.
The Software AG IDL Extractor for Natural extracts a Software AG IDL file definition from a Natural source or object within a Natural RPC environment definition.
See Software AG IDL Extractor for Natural.
The Software AG IDL Extractor for PL/I extracts a Software AG IDL file from a PL/I source. The PL/I source can be located in the file system or accessed remotely within a PL/I RPC environment definition.
See Software AG IDL Extractor for PL/I.
The Software AG IDL Extractor for XML Document generates a Software AG IDL file and a related XML mapping file (XMM) from a given XML document.
See Software AG IDL Extractor for XML Document.
The Software AG IDL Extractor for XML Schema generates a Software AG IDL file and a related XML mapping file (XMM) from given XML schema files.
See Software AG IDL Extractor for XML Schema.
The Software AG IDL Extractor for WSDL is a wizard that reads a WSDL file from the file system, any valid URL, or a web service registry. From this WSDL file, the wizard creates a mapping file and an IDL file to make an external web service accessible to EntireX clients via the EntireX XML/SOAP RPC Server.
