Integrating a single-service project into a service flow project

This topic describes how to integrate a single-service project into a service flow project.
Once you have developed a single-service project (see Developing single-service projects) you can integrate it into a service flow project either as an outbound Web services subproject or as a nonterminal subproject:
Type of single-service project: How the single-service project can be integrated into the service flow project:
Web services for CICS®
  • Outbound Web service subproject; or
  • Nonterminal subproject
SOAP for CICS Outbound Web service subproject
XML Transformation project Not supported.
IMS™ Soap Gateway Outbound Web service subproject
IMS Info 2.0 Not supported.
Batch, TSO, z/OS® UNIX® project Outbound Web service subproject
SCA project Not supported.

To integrate a single-service project into a service flow project:
  1. Verify that you have generated output files for the single-service project. Otherwise the attempt to integrate the single-service project with the service flow project will fail and you will get a nonspecific error message.
  2. In the EST Project Explorer, right-click the single-service project that you want to integrate.
  3. Select Add to a Service Flow Project.
  4. If the single-service project is a Web services for CICS project, you are prompted to select how to integrate the project with the service flow project. Select whether to integrate the project as one of the following:
    • Outbound Web service request
    • Program call (that is, a nonterminal subproject)
  5. Select the service flow project to which you want to add the single-service project.
  6. Click OK.
The Enterprise Service Tools performs the following operations:

In the flow editor, you can now drag the new operation to the canvas of the flow editor to create a valid Invoke outbound Web service node or a valid Invoke nonterminal node.

The single-service project is removed from the EST Project Explorer, but the files are not lost. You can access these files from the Navigator view, and if you wish you can invoke the Enterprise Service Tools Wizard Launchpad to regenerate output files for the single-service project.
