Prerequisites

This tutorial has several prerequisites. Please make sure you have the following available before proceeding.

• Xcentrisity Business Information Server (BIS) must be installed and operating correctly, as demonstrated by the verification and samples operating correctly.
• Xcentrisity Business Information Server reference documentation, which can be found in the Docs subdirectory of the extend installation directory.
• XML Extensions reference documentation, which can be found in A Guide to Interoperating with ACUCOBOL-GT > Working with Non-Vision Data.
• Tutorial1 is displaying as part of the acubis10 website in Internet Information Server (IIS).
• The tutorial examples, as delivered, create trace information (see the BIS reference documentation for the {{Trace}} tag). The trace information is placed in a top level directory named /tmp. If this directory does not exist, either create the directory with permissions that allow BIS to create files in the directory, or edit the tutorial1.srf, tutorial2.srf and tutorial3.srf files to save the trace information in a directory of your choice.
• A web services client will be necessary for testing web services. This tutorial uses soapUI, which may be found at www.soapui.org, as well as Microsoft Visual Studio. Download and install soapUI as a minimum test client.
