This topic provides a link to information
about how to invoke a service flow as the application program component
of a Web service and also provides some troubleshooting information.
Invoking a Web service generated
from a service flow project
For a description of how to
invoke a service flow as the application component of a Web service,
see the relevant chapter in the CICS® Service
Flow Runtime documentation (see Supported runtime environments for each project type).
Troubleshooting information
for creating Web services
When troubleshooting Web services,
do the following:
- Ensure that the code page conversion tables on the z/OS® system include the code page that you specified
when generating the Web service. For double-byte code pages, there
must be a conversion between the specified code page and UTF-8 (code
page 1208).
- Verify that the data length specified for Link
with COMMAREA nodes is less than or equal to the length of the
message (structure) that maps the input and output messages.
- Verify that the correct request name is specified in the service
call. (For the meaning of request name see Common generation properties of all three flow types.)
