Once you have installed EntireX, you can verify the installation of the following components.
To test the EntireX Broker installation
Start EntireX Broker. See Starting and Stopping the Broker in the z/OS Administration documentation.
Run the example programs:
BCOS
is the example server program
BCOC
is the example client program
The programs BCOC
and BCOS
are client and server programs provided for test purposes. They are delivered as load modules in EXX101.LOAD.
The execution JCL for the example programs is located in the
EXX101.JOBS library in members EXXBCOS
and EXXBCOC
. Modify the JCL for your
installation, and submit job EXXBCOS
first, followed by job EXXBCOC
.
A single message will be sent by program BCOC
and then received by
program BCOS
. Both jobs should return a zero condition code. The output from
each job is written to SYSPRINT.

-kconversation_flag |
Using conversational mode. | |
-l |
Silent mode. Suppress output. | |

-y |
Delay between messages in seconds. | |
-zstore[uwstatp[,uowtime]] |
Test unit of work. | |
-1..11 |
By default, if omitted, the highest possible API version is used. Note that if you specify the API version, certain features might depend on a minimum API version. | API-VERSION |
Most BCOC
parameters apply to BCOS
, too. The following table lists additional parameters or parameters that have a different meaning.
