There are different styles (interface types) for calling a COBOL server.
Extract the interface of the COBOL server program. | |
Generate connection and adapter services in Integration Server. | |
Execute the call from Integration Server to the COBOL server program. |
It is important to know the interface type of your COBOL server. If you are unsure, consult a COBOL CICS specialist or see
description of interface type in the IDL Extractor for COBOL documentation for details and examples:
DFHCOMMAREA
Calling Convention |
Channel Container Calling Convention |
DFHCOMMAREA
Large Buffer Interface.
When you are sure which interface type you are using, continue with the appropriate scenario:
DFHCOMMAREA (using CICS RPC Server)
DFHCOMMAREA (zero footprint using CICS ECI)
