Scenario: "I have a COBOL server program and want to call this from a REST client."

Solution: Take an existing COBOL server program and generate the integration logic to call it from a REST client .

The COBOL server can reside in different operating systems and environments. Continue with the appropriate scenario:

• z/OS - Choose your z/OS environment:

  • CICS - Choose your CICS calling convention:

    • DFHCOMMAREA using

      • CICS ECI (zero footprint)

      • CICS Socket Listener (minimal footprint)

      • RPC Server for CICS

    • Channel Container using

      • CICS Socket Listener (minimal footprint)

      • RPC Server for CICS

    • Large Buffer using

      • CICS Socket Listener (minimal footprint)

      • RPC Server for CICS

  • Batch

  • IMS - Choose your IMS environment:

    • MPP - online transactions (zero footprint using IMS Connect)

    • BMP - batch processing (using RPC Server for IMS)

• UNIX (Micro Focus)
