This topic describes how to use the Enterprise
Service Tools Wizard Launchpad to start a single-service
wizard.NOTE: This is not applicable for "An Enterprise Service Tools single-service project"
The following is not applicable for "An Enterprise
Service Tools single-service project".
The
Enterprise Service Tools Wizard Launchpad allows
you to launch a single-service wizard and to specify certain options
for the wizard.
Note: XML Transformation for CICS® runtime is not supported on the wizard
launchpad.
The single-service wizards are as follows:
- The bottom-up wizards
- The top-down wizards
- The meet-in-the-middle wizards
To start one of these wizards from the launchpad:
- Select options on the launchpad.
- Click Start.
The options on the launchpad are as follows:Note: The list boxes on the launchpad do not contain all of
their selections in all circumstances. The following
details are provided for each list box.
- Host runtime
- Select the runtime environment on the remote z/OS® system
for which you want the wizard to generate service
interface files:
- Web Services for CICS
- SOAP for CICS
- IMS™ SOAP Gateway
- IMS Web 2.0
- Batch, TSO, and z/OS UNIX® System
Services
Note: XML Transformation for CICS runtime
is not supported on the wizard launchpad.
- Each of these available runtime
environments has the same name (such as Web Services for
CICS) as the particular type of single-service project
with which it is associated. (Each of the available types
of single-service projects is used to generate files for one runtime
environment - see The available types of single-service projects).
- Which of these selections are present in the Host
runtime list when the launchpad opens depends on the
context from which the launchpad is started (see Starting the wizard launchpad):
| Context from which the launchpad is started: |
Selections available in the Host runtime list: |
| A single-service project.
Example: A
single-service project with a type of Web Services for CICS. |
Only the runtime environment associated with
the type of the single-service project.
Example: Web Services
for CICS |
| Another type of project (such as a Local COBOL
or PL/I project in the z/OS Projects perspective). |
All supported runtime
environments. |
| Remote Systems view. |
All supported runtime
environments. |
- Development scenario
- Select the development scenario for which you want the wizard
to generate files:
- The bottom-up scenario
- The top-down scenario
- The meet-in-the-middle scenario
- The selection that you make in this list determines
which wizard opens when you click Start on
the launchpad:
- Which of the available development scenarios
are present in the Development scenario list
when the launchpad opens depends on a number of factors, including
the selected host runtime (see Summary of supported runtime environments, scenarios, and conversion types).
Important: The meet-in-middle development
scenario is present in the list only when you start the Enterprise
Service Tools Wizard Launchpad from a project other than Enterprise
Service Tools single-service project, such as a Local Project (Workstation
COBOL or PL/I) in the z/OS Projects perspective (see
Two wizards used in the meet-in-middle development scenario).
- Application mode
- Select the type of Web service application for which
you want the wizard to generate files:
- Service Provider
- Service Requester
- Conversion type
- Select the type of data conversion that you want to be used by
the generated service interface files:
- Compiled XML Conversion
- Interpretive XML Conversion
- See Runtime XML conversion: compiled or interpretive.
- Which of these conversion type selections are present in the list
when the launchpad opens depends on a number of factors, including
the selected host runtime (see Summary of supported runtime environments, scenarios, and conversion types).
- Save generation properties
- The behavior and effect of this check box depend
on whether the launchpad is started from a single-service project
or from some other type of project.
- When the launchpad is started from a single-service project:
- In this situation the check box is always selected and cannot
be unselected.
- The effect of having the check box selected is that the wizard
that is launched saves the values that you set for the various options
in the wizard.
- After the wizard has closed, you can re-run the wizard with the
most recently used options by starting the launchpad from the project
name (see Starting the launchpad from an Enterprise Service Tools single-service project).
- When the launchpad is started from some other type of project:
- In this situation the check box is selectable.
- If you select the check box, then the wizard that is launched
creates three generation properties files containing the specifications,
in XML format, of the options that you select in this instance of
the wizard.
- The default names of the three files are Container.xml, PlatformProperties.xml,
and ServiceSpecification.xml. You can specify different names for
these files on the Properties tab of the File,
data set, or member selection page of the wizard (see Properties tab).
- You can then use these generation properties files to run the
batch processor with the same options that you used in this instance
of the wizard.
- This automatic generation saves you the trouble of building the
generation properties files for the batch processor from scratch.
