Scope

The following EntireX Java components can be used under z/OS UNIX. The links provide more information on configuring and administering these components under Linux.

• RPC Server for Java

• RPC Server for XML/SOAP

• Listener for XML/SOAP

• RPC Server for IBM MQ

• Listener for IBM MQ

• RPC-ACI Bridge

• RPC Server for CICS IPIC

• RPC Server for CICS ECI

• RPC Server for CICS Socket Listener

• RPC Server for IMS Connect

Installation Steps

To install EntireX Java components under z/OS UNIX

1. Unload the delivered installation medium to your DASD device. See Copying the Contents of the Installation Medium to Disk.

2. On your UNIX system, create a directory for the installation. For example:

   mkdir SoftwareAG; cd SoftwareAG;

3. Copy the file hlq.EXXvrs.TAR to the created directory, where hlq is your high-level qualifier and vrs is the product version, release and service pack:

   tso "oput 'hlq.EXXvrs.TAR' 'SoftwareAG/exxvrs.tar' binary"

4. Unpack the TAR file:

   tar xvfo exxvrs.tar

Now you have created a folder structure with subdirectories EntireX and WS-Stack which contain all necessary files in several subdirectories. In the EntireX/bin directory you have an environment file exx_zos_env.sh, which you can source to set your environment. Before sourcing the environment, edit this file and set the environment variable EXXDIR to your EntireX directory. Then you can enter the following command (note the space after the initial period):

. ./exx_zos_env.sh

Check your Java installation and edit the file exxjenv.sh in the EntireX/bin directory. You need to set the JAVA_HOME environment variable to your corresponding Java installation.

Bourne shell scripts are provided in the EntireX/bin directory to start the different RPC servers.

To use the RPC Server for XML/SOAP, configure the path to the example.xmm file. Edit the file EntireX/config/entirex.xmlrpcserver.configuration.xml and adapt the pathname in the exx-xmm tag. This file is already in EBCDIC format and the encoding has been set to CP037. If you need a different encoding, change this setting accordingly.

Configuring and Administering the Java Components

The following table shows the provided start script and configuration file for each RPC server or listener.

RPC Server/Listener	Script in EntireX/bin	Config File in EntireX/config
RPC Server for Java	jrpcserver.bsh	entirex.javarpcserver.properties
RPC Server for XML/SOAP	jxmlrpcserver.bsh	entirex.xmlrpcserver.properties
RPC Server for IBM MQ	wmqbridge.bsh	entirex.wmqbridge.properties
Listener for IBM MQ	wmqlistener.bsh	entirex.wmqbridgelistener.properties
RPC-ACI Bridge	jaci-rpc.bsh	entirex.aci-rpc.properties
RPC Server for CICS IPIC	cicsipicserver.bsh	entirex.cicsipic.properties
RPC Server for CICS ECI	cicseciserver.bsh	entirex.cicseci.properties
RPC Server for CICS Socket Listener	cicssocketlistenerserver.bsh	entirex.cicssocketlistener.properties
RPC Server for IMS Connect	imsconnectserver.bsh	entirex.imsconnect.properties

For the Listener for XML/SOAP you need to set up a Web server and install Software AG Web Services Stack to this Web server. See Configure the Web Services Stack Runtime in the Software AG Infrastructure Administrator's Guide under Software AG Suite & Cross-Product Guides. After successful installation, copy or upload <inst_dir>/EntireX/classes/entirex.jar to the WEB-INF/lib folder in the Web Services Stack application folder.
