This document describes how to prepare for connections to IMS. It covers the following topics:
Important:
If the terms and concepts in this chapter are unfamiliar to you,
please work with the appropriate IMS system programmer. Only authorized
personnel should make changes to mainframe computer
systems.
Use the IDL Extractor for COBOL. See the EntireX Workbench documentation for more information.
To extract interface definitions from Message Format Service (MFS) with MID and MOD definitions, use a command line extractor. This extractor is run with the following command line:
java -classpath <suite installation folder>\IntegrationServer\packages\WmEntireX\code\jars\entirex.jar com.softwareag.entirex.ims.extractor.MFSExtractor <inputfile>
The input file has to be an MFS source with MID and MOD definitions. The output is an IDL file with the same name as the input file, except for the suffix ".idl" which is appended. The IDL file can be used to generate connections and adapter services with the webMethods Integration Server Wrapper (see the EntireX Workbench documentation) .
This section describes how to fix errors in the IMS Connect connection or the IMS Connect RPC server.
| Problem | Solution |
|---|---|
If the IMS Connect connection uses a port which
is not related to IMS but to some other application, a call may result in the
following message: Unable to invoke adapter service <service name>.
[ADA.800.500] WmEntireX: exception while executing service: 2011 0303
java.io.EOFException
|
Correct the configuration of the port. |
If the IMS Connect RPC server uses a port which
is not related to IMS but to some other application, a call may result in the
following message: exception while executing service: 2011 0303
java.io.EOFException |
Correct the configuration of the port. |
