Creating iWay Emulation Adapter (3270/5250) iWay Business Services

How to:

When using iWay Telnet Designer in RPC mode, iWay Telnet Designer automatically creates an XML document for the RPC session that is saved. This XML document is a script that is based on the saved session. You can create an iWay Business Service (web service) for the iWay Emulation Adapter (3270/5250) using this generated XML document.

Procedure: How to Create an iWay Business Service

To create an iWay Business Service using an XML document generated by iWay Telnet Designer:

  1. Follow the instructions in Using Remote Procedure Call Mode, to generate an RPC session. An XML document of this session is automatically generated.
  2. Open iWay Explorer, create, and then connect to an emulation adapter (Telnet) target node.

    For more information, follow the steps in How to Import a Telnet Project.

  3. In the left pane, expand the target node, followed by the Generated Scripts node.
  4. To generate the request and response schema, select the XML document that corresponds to your RPC session.

    The Request Schema and Response Schema tabs appear in the right pane. To view the XML for each schema type, click the appropriate tab.

  5. Right-click the XML document from which you want to create a business service and select Create Web Service.

    The Create Web Service dialog is displayed.

  6. Perform the following steps:
    1. From the Existing Service Names drop-down list, select either <new service> or an existing service.
    2. If you are creating a new service, specify a service name. This name identifies the web service in the list of services under the Business Services node.
    3. Enter a brief description for the service (optional).
  7. Click Next.

    The License and Method dialog is displayed.

  8. Perform the following steps:
    1. In the License Name field, select one or more license codes to assign to the web service. To make multiple selections, press the Ctrl key and click the licenses.
    2. In the Method Name field, enter a descriptive name for the method.
    3. In the Method Description field, enter a brief description of the method.
  9. Click OK.

    iWay Explorer switches the view to the Business Services node, and the new iWay Business Service (web service) appears in the left pane.
