Writing Applications with the DCOM Wrapper

This document covers the following topics:


Tracing

There are several possibilities to trace the DCOM Wrapper. For details, see Tracing webMethods EntireX under UNIX | Windows | BS2000 | z/VSE.

Using Internationalization with the DCOM Wrapper

The DCOM Wrapper uses by default the Windows ANSI codepage (CP_ACP) to convert the Unicode (UTF-16) representation within BSTRINGS to the multibyte or single-byte encoding sent to/received from the broker, and vice versa. The codepage name is also transferred to the broker to tell the broker the encoding of the data. If you want to adapt the locale settings of your Windows system, use the Regional and Language Options in the Windows Control Panel.

A DCOM Wrapper programmer can override the default Windows ANSI codepage the DCOM Wrapper uses. Use the Windows codepage number in numerical form to specify a different one, see the property Codepage in the section Standard Wrapper Properties. If a codepage is provided, it is transferred to the Broker. Use CP_ACP to send the default Windows ANSI codepage to the Broker.

Enable character conversion in the broker by setting the service-specific attribute CONVERSION to "SAGTRPC". See also Configuring ICU Conversion under z/OS | UNIX | Windows | BS2000 | z/VSE. More information can be found under Internationalization with EntireX.

Setting Transport Methods for the DCOM Wrapper

The procedure for setting the transport methods and timeout for the EntireX DCOM Wrapper is the same as for the Broker stubs.

See Transport Methods for Broker Stubs under z/OS | UNIX | Windows | BS2000 | z/VSE.
