Hi Kriss,

CICS 3.1 has built-in support for webservice and SOAP, but seems it does not include a "message adaptor" in it, you need to a "message adaptor" to pass the data in the SOAP message back and forth between the CICS transaction which is acting like a service provider in webservice.

You might need to evaluate commerical products like attachmate, EntireX, and hostbridge.

I hope this helps you.

We just finished seeing the IBM webinar on CICS 3.1 on "Capitizing your existing CICS assets."

I was wondering if any shop out there brought in CICS 3.1 and then came up with a standard/cookbook set of steps to enable their green screen transactions (at least minimally) to run as web transactions. Also, were there things you did in the programs when they were built that had to be undone systematically?

Did you use some tool or just what "came with" CICS 3.1.

Any info would be appreciated on how you migrated and especially if you have some cookbook you could share.

Thanks,

Kriss
