Sample: Overview of enterprise access to a CICS ECI server

A new import is created called the Taderc25 import. The import invokes a program on a CICS ECI server that can return different outputs depending on the input at run time. The input of a customer reference can return output for a preferred customer, a regular customer or a bad customer, depending on the customer's classification.

You will use the enterprise service discovery wizard to build your import. It will include adding a CICS ECI resource adapter, specifying connection and security values, defining the query, and generating the artifacts. You will learn how to test that the program is working correctly using the WebSphere test environment. You will view the artifacts created using various editors. Looking at the Taderc25 import icon in the assembly editor, you will see the properties of the import. The interface editor will be used to see its interface. The business object editor will be used to see its business objects.

Note: The steps shown in this sample show how to build an import and display its artifacts such as its properties, interface and business objects. However, you cannot actually execute the import created within an application as the server accessed in this sample is not publicly available.

Time required

Allow 20 minutes to build the sample. You also have the option to import the ready-made import and open it with the assembly editor to view it. See related topics for more information.
