Overview of the user interface for CICS SCA Tools

This topic provides an overview of the Service Component Architecture (SCA) Tools user interface.

New SCA project wizard

The SCA project wizard is the starting point for creating SCA projects in a workspace.

New component wizard

Use the New SCA Component Wizard to create a component with initial values for its composite, interface, and implementation.

New composite wizard

SCA applications organize components within composites. Use the composite wizard to create a new composite.

Composite editor

The composite diagram editor is a graphical environment for laying out and composing your SCA application.

Composite editor properties

In the Properties view, two tabs are available for editing composite properties: the Core tab and the Properties tab.

Component properties

In the Properties view, the following tabs are available for editing component properties: the Core, Implementation, and Properties tabs.

Service properties

In the Properties view, the following tabs are available for editing service properties: Core, Interface, and Binding.

Reference properties

In the Properties view, the following tabs are available for editing reference properties: Core, Interface, and Binding.

Interface properties

The interface defines service operations that contain zero or one request (input) message and zero or one response (output) message. For WSDL 1.1, the interface attribute points to a portType value in the WSDL file.

Binding properties

For a service, a binding describes the mechanism clients use to access the service. For a reference, a binding describes the mechanism it will use to access a service.

SCA preferences

To set SCA preferences, click Window > Preferences > Service Component Architecture. You can customize particular aspects of components and composites in general and can customize how SCA archives are exported and imported.

Contribution editor

A contribution is set of deployable SCA artifacts. Use the editor to add or remove the composites you want in your contribution and to add import and export values. SCA contributions are optional in CICS.

New Contribution wizard

A contribution is set of deployable SCA artifacts. Use the wizard to create a new contribution and select the composites you want in your contribution.
