Setting the REXX Gateway client to communicate with the server
About this task
Before you can use the System z Jazz Gateway server, you
must configure the REXX Gateway client by completing the following
steps:
Using the instructions in the sample REXX, configure member
BLZGWCLI in hlq.SBLZSAMP. Set the parameters for
the server address where the gateway is running and the port number
that the gateway is monitoring. If you use an encrypted password file,
set your ASCII and EBCDIC code pages. The password has been encrypted
in ASCII but the other parameters are set to EBCDIC prior to being
passed through to the gateway. Therefore, the encrypted password string
also must be converted to EBCDIC. By default the code pages are set
to ISO8859-1 for ASCII and IBM-1047 for EBCDIC.
To test the System z Jazz Gateway server, configure member
BLZGWTST in the hlq.SBLZSAMP data set using the
instructions in the sample REXX.
Remember: If
you use an encrypted password file, set the password variable to the
literal <file> to instruct the REXX Gateway
client to get the password file from the user's home directory.
See Creating an encrypted password file for the System z Jazz Gateway.
To run the test enter TSO EX hlq.SBLZSAMP(BLZGWTST).
Note: This command is a sample and hlq.SBLZSAMP is
the name of the data set where you uploaded the members. (Your data
set name might be different.)
If you set the test to return the work item status and if
the work item exists, you will receive a message indicating the status
of the work item similar to:
Workitem number 1 is in New status
If you set the test to return the full XML, you will receive
the following message and the view will change to the returned XML:
