Overview & Roadmap
Tight and easy-to-use link between
¬
¬
webMethods ESB (Integration Server) and
webMethods EntireX and Mainframe
Easy-to-use zero mainframe footprint link between
¬
¬
webMethods ESB (Integration Server) and
IMS Connect or CICS
Integrates existing core applications with wM ESB (Integration Server)
¬
Reach M/F transactions
¬
¬
¬
¬
¬
¬
Cobol, PL/I, Natural, …
CICS, Batch, IMS
z/OS, z/VSE, BS2000/OSD, system i, …
Call M/F transactions from IS flow (IS outbound)
Call IS service from M/F program (IS inbound)
Based on proven webMethods EntireX RPC technology

contains everything needed
for ESB-M/F connectivity
Use Cases (business level)
Use Case I
If you want to
¬ integrate wM ESB / IS with Mainframe applications
¬ Natural, COBOL, PL/I
If you have purchased
¬ wM ESB / IS
¬ wM EntireX for that Mainframe connectivity
What to do?
¬ Download webMethods EntireX Adapter for ESB from Advantage
¬ RPC connectivity feature with EntireX & Natural is given
Use Case II
If you want to
¬ integrate wM ESB / IS with Mainframe applications
If you have purchased
¬ wM ESB / IS
What to do?
¬ Take webMethods EntireX for ESB
Use Case III
If you want to
¬ build up your SOA based on an Enterprise Service Bus
¬ integrate your Enterprise Service Bus with Mainframe applications
¬ Natural, COBOL, PL/I, green screens
¬ manage and govern your SOA
What to do?
¬ Take webMethods Application Modernization - SOA edition
Use Cases (technical level)
Use Case I – technical level
If you want to
¬ call a M/F server program from an ESB service
¬ you’ve got the M/F server source
What to do?
¬ Extract the IDL from server source
¬ Generate IS Connection from IDL
¬ Run & test your newly created adapter service
Use Case II – technical level
If you want to
¬ call an ESB service from a M/F client program
¬ you’ve got the M/F client source
What to do?
¬ Extract the IDL from client source
¬ from COBOL Copybook or Natural PDA
¬ Generate IS RPC Listener Connection from IDL
¬ Run & test
Use Case III – technical level
If you want to
¬ call an ESB service from a M/F client program
¬ you’ve got the IS service
What to do?
¬ Extract the IDL from the IS package
¬ Generate / Define your RPC client
¬ Compile & link
¬ Run & test
Use Case IV – technical level
If you want to
¬ call a M/F server program from an ESB service
¬ you’ve got the surrogate IS flow service
What to do?
¬ extract IDL from respective IS package
¬ generate IS Connection (and hereby Adapter Services) from same IDL
¬ ensure that flow service name and adapter service name are different!
¬ let the surrogate flow service call the newly created adapter service
¬ generate M/F RPC server from IDL
Installation
Cookbook – Installation*
1. webMethods EntireX Adapter for ESB
¬
Install via wM Installer from Advantage**
2. webMethods EntireX Adapter for ESB –
Eclipse feature (design time)
¬
¬
Contained in webMethods EntireX Adapter for ESB package
(wM Installer)
Install as additional Eclipse feature***
* Described here: webMethods EntireX Adapter for ESB (XAI) only
EntireX (e.g. EntireX for ESB) is prerequisite
