Creating a CICS SCA component type

A CICS® SCA component type is a .componentType file that lists all the services that an application offers and all references to other services that you can wire.
Before you can create a CICS SCA component type, you must create an SCA project and create or import a COBOL or PL/I source file in the project's Source folder.
To create a CICS SCA component type, complete the following steps:
  1. In the Project Explorer, select a program name and click File > New > Other. A "Select a wizard" window appears.
  2. In the "Select a wizard" window, select Service Component Architecture > CICS SCA Component Type, and click Next. A New CICS Component Type window appears.
  3. In the New CICS Component Type window, complete the following steps:
    1. Leave the Project, Component type file name, CICS program source file, and Program name, and fields unchanged.
    2. Choose one of the following conversion types:
      • Compiled XML Conversion
      • Interpretive XML Conversion
      Compiled XML conversion has more capabilities than interpretive XML conversion. For more information about these two types of conversion, see the topic about compiled or interpretive runtime XML conversion.
    3. Click Next
    A "Language structures" window appears.
  4. Depending on whether you selected Compiled XML Conversion or Interpretive XML Conversion, complete the following steps:
    Compiled XML Conversion Interpretive XML Conversion
    1. In the "Language structures" window on the Request Language Structure tab or the Response Language Structure tab or both, select one of the check boxes for data items in the program that was selected in Step 1, and click Next. A "Generation options" window appears.
    2. In the "Generation options" window, fill out the fields on the tabs described in the following topics: Click Next. A Web Services for CICS window appears.
    3. In the Web Services for CICS window, fill out the fields on the Basic Options tab and the Advanced Options tab, and click Next. A "File, data set, or member selection" window appears.
    4. In the "File, data set, or member selection" window, fill in the fields on the XML Converters tab and the WSDL and XSD tab, and click Finish. A CICS SCA component type is created, along with other resources useful for enabling the selected program as a service, such as a WSDL file, a binding file, and XML converter programs.
    1. In the "Language structures" window on the Request Language Structure tab or the Response Language Structure tab or both, select one of the check boxes for data items in the program that was selected in Step 1, and click Next. A "DFHLS2WS: Application and Service properties" window appears.
    2. In the "DFHLS2WS: Application and Service properties" window, fill out the fields on the tabs described in the topic about the "DFHLS2WS: Application and Service properties" page, and click Next. A DFHLS2WS: Target artifacts window appears.
    3. In the "DFHLS2WS: Target artifacts" window, fill out the fields on the Service Artifacts tab described in the topic about the "DFHLS2WS: Target artifacts" page, and click Finish. A CICS SCA component type is created, along with other resources useful for enabling the selected program as a service, such as a WSDL file and a binding file.
