EntireX consists of multiple installable components. Some components can be installed alone; some have dependencies on other components. These dependencies are handled automatically by the installation. For example, if you select package EntireX Broker, the EntireX Mini Runtime is installed automatically. This document describes the individual components and any dependencies on other EntireX packages.
Note:
There may be additional dependencies on other products or components, for example infrastructure components, that are not
explicitly listed here.
The Adapters > EntireX Adapter package (under the Adapters node) contains the EntireX Adapter that runs in webMethods Integration Server. You can run services between mainframe platforms and the Integration Server. Run most scenarios from the EntireX Adapter directly. Use the EntireX Broker for additional scenarios. Connect COBOL, Natural or PL/I with z/OS, z/VSE or BS2000. See EntireX Adapter.
For installing this package with Command Central command line, the product ID is EntireXAdapter.
The Designer > EntireX Designer package (under the Designer node) contains EntireX design-time. It lets you create services to/from mainframe platforms and the webMethods Integration Server easily. Also Java or Web services. Let the EntireX wizards guide you through extracting, mapping and testing the generated RPC clients/servers. See Software AG Designer.
