Importing a Web services for CICS single-service project into a service flow project

This topic describes how to import a Web services for CICS® single-service project into a service flow project.
To import a Web services for CICS project:
  1. Before you import a Web services for CICS project, the Web services for CICS project should already be complete, with a generated WSDL file describing the interface of the Web service and COBOL files containing the Web service driver and runtime XML conversion files.
  2. Create an outbound Web services project if you have not already done so.
  3. Right-click the outbound Web services project.
  4. Select Import CICS Web Service.
  5. Select the WSDL file from the CICS Web Service that you want to import.
  6. Click OK.
The importer performs the following actions in the outbound Web services subproject:

You can now create an Invoke outbound Web service node in the flow editor by dragging the operation from the WSDL file to the flow editor canvas.
