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 and suffix ".idl". Use the IDL file to generate connections and adapter services with the Integration Server Wrapper.
Extracting from a COBOL source is described under IMS MPP Message Interface (IMS Connect) in the IDL Extractor for COBOL documentation.
For troubleshooting, see Message Class 2011 - Connections to IMS Connect under Error Messages and Codes.
