Setting up the .ini file
The Gateway Event names are not hardcoded in the MetaSolv application,
therefore CwGatewayServer uses an .ini file to determine
which Business Object to retrieve based on the Gateway Event Name. You
must create a text file with the .ini extension. This
file must reflect the Gateway Event names in your MetaSolv application.
The Gateway Event names must be linked to triggering tasks in the MetaSolv
application. Changes to the names of Gateway Events in the MetaSolv
Client also impact the Gateway Server.
- Note:
- The .ini file is not required for the PSR Billing Gateway.
The format of entries in the .ini file is
<Gateway_Event_Name><tab><Business_Object_Name>.
For example:
PSR_CREATE_DD MetaSolv_ServiceRequest
Testing the Gateway server
Use the following procedure to test the Gateway Server:
- Start the CwGatewayServer or the CwPSRBillingGateway server by running the
runcwgatewayserver.bat and
runcwpsrbillinggatewayserver.bat file on the MetaSolv Application
Server machine.
- From the MetaSolv Client, send a Gateway Event that is registered with the
server. If the Gateway Server is able to extract the event information
and insert the event into the event table, a status of complete is
sent.
- If the event is processed successfully, the server returns a status of
"Completed."
- If the event is errored, the server returns a status of
"Errored."
- If no status is returned, the event is waiting for a response from the
server.
