Before running the JCA resource adapter installation verification
test (IVT) ensure that the JEE application server is compatible, and
that the necessary components have been installed and configured correctly.
To complete these tasks, you should be able to create deployment plans
for the chosen JEE application server, configure CICS® Transaction Gateway, and build and install CICS applications.
JEE application server compatibility
The
JEE application server you intend using must have passed the JEE 1.4
or JEE 5 (or later) compatibility test suite. For more information
see:
http://java.sun.com/javaee/overview/compatibility.jsp
Prerequisites
Complete the following tasks:
- Compile and install the EC01 sample CICS COBOL
program on the CICS server.
- Ensure that the CICS Transaction Gateway resource adapter archive
RAR file (cicseci.rar) is available.
- Ensure that the JCA IVT enterprise archive (EAR) file is available
and has the filename ECIIVT.ear.
- Configure a CICS server
connection for CICS Transaction
Gateway.
The source for EC01 is shipped with CICS Transaction Gateway as a COBOL file in <install_path>/samples/server/ec01.ccp.
Both the RAR files and the EAR files are shipped with the CICS Transaction Gateway in the <install_path>/deployable
directory.
To ensure you have correctly configured the CICS Transaction Gateway, follow the instructions
in
Sample programs to
run the EciB1 sample program. The sample program can be found in <install_path>/samples.
