This document covers the following topics:
The deployment service
is the (server-side) counterpart to the deployment wizard; see Server Mapping Deployment Wizard.
is a built-in service of the EntireX RPC server, which can be enabled/disabled by EntireX RPC server configuration settings
usage can be restricted to certain users or group of users, using EntireX Security; see Authorization of Client and Server.
The deployment service is used for the
IDL Extractor for COBOL to deploy SVM files with the deployment wizard;
COBOL Wrapper for server generation to deploy SVM files with the deployment wizard.
See Server Mapping Deployment Wizard.
The deployment service uses the same class and server names as defined
for the EntireX RPC server, and DEPLOYMENT as the service
name, resulting in
class/server/DEPLOYMENT
as the broker service. Please note DEPLOYMENT is a
service name reserved by Software AG. See broker attribute
SERVICE.
To enable the deployment service
For a BS2000/OSD Batch RPC Server, the server mapping file ISAM (container) must be installed and configured. See Step 1: Define an RPC SVM File.
Set the RPC server parameter deployment=yes.
See deployment under Configuring the RPC Server.
Define in the broker attribute file, under the RPC service, an
additional broker service with DEPLOYMENT as the
service name and values for class and server identical to those used for the
RPC service. For example, if your RPC service is named
CLASS = RPC SERVER = SRV1 SERVICE = CALLNAT
the deployment service requires the following additional service definition in the broker attribute file:
CLASS = RPC SERVER = SRV1 SERVICE = DEPLOYMENT
Optional. If you need to restrict the use of the deployment service to
a selected group of users, use EntireX Security and define security rules
for the
class/server/DEPLOYMENT
broker service. The service name DEPLOYMENT is a constant.
For a z/OS broker, see Resource Profiles in EntireX Security.
For a UNIX or Windows broker, see Administering Authorization Rules using System Management Hub under UNIX | Windows.
Not applicable to a BS2000/OSD or z/VSE broker.
To disable the deployment service
Set the BS2000/OSD Batch RPC Server parameter deployment=no. See deployment under Configuring the RPC Server.
The BS2000/OSD Batch RPC Server will not register the deployment service in the broker.
