A CICS® SCA
component type is a .componentType file that lists all the services
that an application offers and all references to other services that
you can wire.
Before you can create a CICS SCA component type, you must create an
SCA project and create or import a COBOL or PL/I source
file in the project's Source folder.
To create a CICS SCA
component type, complete the following steps:
- In the Project Explorer, select
a program name and click . A "Select a wizard" window appears.
- In the "Select a wizard" window, select , and click Next. A New CICS Component Type window
appears.
- In the New CICS Component
Type window, complete the following steps:
- Leave the Project, Component
type file name, CICS program source file,
and Program name, and fields unchanged.
- Choose one of the following conversion types:
- Compiled XML Conversion
- Interpretive XML Conversion
Compiled XML conversion has more capabilities than interpretive
XML conversion. For more information about these two types of conversion,
see the topic about compiled or interpretive runtime
XML conversion.
- Click Next
A "Language structures" window appears.
- Depending on whether you selected Compiled XML
Conversion or Interpretive XML Conversion,
complete the following steps:
| Compiled XML Conversion |
Interpretive XML Conversion |
- In the "Language structures" window
on the Request Language Structure tab or the Response
Language Structure tab or both, select one of the check
boxes for data items in the program that was selected in Step 1, and
click Next. A "Generation options" window
appears.
- In the "Generation options" window,
fill out the fields on the tabs described in the following topics:
Click Next. A Web Services for CICS window
appears.
- In the Web Services for CICS window,
fill out the fields on the Basic Options tab

appears.
- In the "File, data set, or member selection" window,
fill in the fields on the XML Converters tab
and the WSDL and XSD tab,
and click Finish. A CICS SCA component type is created, along
with other resources useful for enabling the selected program as a
service, such as a WSDL file, a binding file, and XML converter programs.
