The EntireX RPC Servers (available under CICS, z/OS Batch, Windows, UNIX and Java) execute servers on RPC client requests. Using EntireX RPC Wrapper technology of the EntireX Workbench, you can generate these servers together with integrated wrappers (server interface objects). The Workbench tool you choose to generate these servers depends on your environment, for example Java Wrapper, COBOL Wrapper, C Wrapper, XML/SOAP Wrapper, etc.
EntireX RPC Servers handle all aspects of Broker communication, which means you do not need to deal with Broker ACI programming. EntireX RPC Servers call the generated servers in a standarized way depending on the platform under which the EntireX RPC Server is running, for example DLL on Windows, shared library on UNIX, CICS program under CICS. This means you can implement your servers in your usual manner.
This section lists the EntireX RPC Servers and provides links to installation and administration sections of the documentation.
This document covers the following topics:
The EntireX RPC Server under CICS enables you to call CICS programs as servers.
The EntireX RPC Server under z/OS (Batch, IMS) enables you to call programs with standard IBM linkage convention as servers.
The EntireX RPC Server under OS/400 enables you to call server programs written in all ILE-based languages, for example C, COBOL, RPG.
The EntireX RPC Server under UNIX, together with C Wrapper, enables you to call shared objects as servers.
The EntireX RPC Server under Windows, together with C Wrapper, enables you to call DLLs as servers.
The EntireX XML/SOAP RPC Server, together with the EntireX Java Wrapper, enables you to call Java methods within objects as servers.
The EntireX .NET RPC Server, together with EntireX RPC for .NET, enables you to call .NET assemblies as servers.
With the EntireX XML/SOAP RPC Server you can process XML-based server calls from EntireX/Natural RPC clients. The EntireX RPC client communicates with the XML-based server, using the XML/SOAP Runtime.
Data sets for the EntireX RPC Servers are prefixed with EXP on the installation tape.
