Sample: Create a MFS J2C service for the IMS IVP Phonebook application

This sample leads you through detailed steps that describe how to generate an J2C service based on the input and output formats defined in the MFS source of an IMS™ transaction.

Before you begin

Within IBM® Rational® Application Developer for WebSphere® Software, you use the J2C wizard to generate code for the service. The MFS J2C service provides input data for the IMS input message, which the service passes to the IMS system. The IMS transaction runs and returns an output message, the contents of which are returned to the client by the MFS J2C service.

Prerequisite: Contact your IMS system programmer to verify that the IMS IVP Phonebook application is installed on your system. Also have the system programmer transfer the dfsivf1.mfs (this is the MFS Phonebook source) to your local machine.
Tip: Many of the steps in this sample ask you to select artifacts before launching a wizard. As a result, many of the fields in the wizard contain default values based on the selected artifact. The default values make it much easier and faster for you to complete your tasks.
