CICS/COBOL Web Services UI Conrefs

Project
Shows the name of the project in which the CICS Web service is created. The default is the current project. Click Browse to specify a different project.
Program location
The location of the program from which to create the Web service. Click Browse to select a location.
Program name
The name of the program from which to create the Web service.
Service location
The endpoint URL used to invoke the Web service, consisting of the server, port, and a URI used to identify the Web service in Enterprise Server.
Program interface
Lists the types of interfaces you can select for this Web service: COMMAREA or CHANNEL.
Container name
Shows the name of the container associated with the selected interface. The default name for the COMMAREA interface is DFHWS-DATA, which cannot be changed. For a CHANNEL interface, this field is enabled so you can type in the name of the container.
Operation name
The name of the operation defined in the service interface. The default is program-nameOperation.
Request structure
The path or virtual path to and name of a program or copybook that contains the data structures required to request data. Click Browse to select a file.
Response structure
The path or virtual path to and name of a program or copybook that contains the data structures required to send data. Click Browse to select a file.
Additional parameters
Any additional parameters. See the ws2ls reference topic for a list of parameters.
Log File
The path and filename of the log file created during CICS Web service generation.
Service definition
The WSDL file used to create the Web service. Click Browse to select a file.
Program name
The name of the generated Web service program.
Request file prefix
A file prefix for the generated copybook containing the request data structure.
Response file prefix
A file prefix for the generated copybook containing the response data structure.
Change preferences
Access the CICS Web Services preferences page to make changes if required.
Default string length
The maximum number of characters that can be processed in a COMMAREA or CHANNEL string.
Default array size
The maximum number of times a single array can be processed by a COMMAREA or CHANNEL string.
WSDL Namespace
The namespace used in the provided WSDL file.
From group
From
WSDL only. The name of the WSDL file that describes the application.
WSDL Service
WSDL only. For WSDL files that define more than one service, select a service from the drop-down list. The default is the first service defined in the WSDL file.
WSDL Port
WSDL only. If the selected WSDL Service defines more than one port, select a port from the drop-down list. The default is the first port defined in the WSDL file for the selected service.
(For request)
JSON only. The name of a request JSON schema file that defines input data structure, or the name of a JSON schema file that defines both input and output data structures.
Operation(s)
From the drop-down list, check one or more operations found in the WSDL file or JSON schema. The default is All. For WSDL, only operations corresponding to the selected WSDL Port are listed.
(For response)
JSON only. The name of a response JSON schema file that defines output data structure or, if using a JSON schema file that defines both input and output data structures, <None>.
Generate group
Service
Generate a service interface file and skeleton program only. Also enables the Name field below.
Name
The name of the generated service interface file. The default is the name of the WSDL or request JSON file selected. Available only when Service is selected.
Client
Generate a skeleton CICS client application.
Client
Generate a COBOL console client application.
Name
The name of the generated COBOL program file without the file extension.
Default string length
The default string length in the generated service or client.
Default array size
The default size for unbounded arrays in the generated service or client. Available only when Inline array size limit is 0.
Character Set
Available only when Client is selected. Select ASCII or EBCDIC as appropriate to generate the client application with the character set used at run time.
Bit Mode
Available only when Client is selected. Select 32 or 64 as appropriate to generate the client application with the bit mode used at run time.
No separate structures (0)
All variable arrays are generated inline within the main structure. Default.
All arrays, including optional fields (1)
All variable arrays are generated as separate structures for dynamic allocation.
All arrays, excluding optional fields (2)
All variable arrays, except those that occur at most once, are generated as separate structures for dynamic allocation. Arrays that occur at most once are generated into the main structure.
Only unbounded arrays (32767)
Only unbounded arrays are generated as separate structures for dynamic allocation.
