Testing Atomic transactiion with CICS as requester

I am currently developing an application to test the atomicity in transactions with CICS in mainframes as requester and WAS running in the windows as the service provider.Can someone elaborate on the steps required for enabling this atomicity?

your question is too general. Please be more specific on what
you need to accomplish.

I am trying to test the atomic transaction between CICS 3.2 and WAS 6.1.WAS is the service provider and CICS is the requester.I get the ASP7 abend(syncpoint could not be established with the remote system-failed in the prepare phase).I have attached the soap response message from WAS.Help me solve the issue.

Hello and welcome to the forums,

Please do not post atttachments as several of our most helpful people cannot download attachments. You need to re-post the txt info using copy/paste and the "Code" tag. Use preview to see how your post will appear to the forum and use Submit when you approve of the appearance of your post.

You also need to provide some explanation of what the problem is. When a connection is refused, there is typically some error information provided.

Why do you believe this is a cics problem rather than the pc software or the pc configuration?

The more and better info you provide, the more likely someone can help.

Hi!Will avoid sending attachments in future.Coming to the problem, I am facing difficulty in setting up wsat(websphere atomic transaction) between CICS and WAS.When I tried to test WAS-WAS atomic transaction ,it worked fine.But when I test the same with CICS,it abends with ASP7.I want to make sure that CICS is able to receive the response and register with WAS to proceed with the prepared phase in atomic transaction.

It would be helpful if you could suggest some methods to track the CICS registration with WAS.

Hello,

I've added the text from your earlier attachment. I don't see any asp7 error (possibly because i don't know what to look for)?

Suggest you either speak with your cics system support or the WAS vendor.

Hi Bhuvana

Is the transaction working when WAS is requestor and CICS as the provider.
If its not the connectivity between CICS and WAS is not set up properly.

Thanks
Rohit

Hi Rohit

I have not tested the other way around.In the RAD v7,I have enabled the global transaction by setting the Execute using Web Services Atomic Transaction on incoming requests.In the CICS side I have configured the registration service pipelines and requester pipelines.But still CICS is not able to participate in atomic transaction and abends with ASP7.Reason for the bend-
"Resources remote to this CICS system, for example files, temporary storage, transient data on remote CICS systems, or database managers communicating via the RMI, have been updated, and so the remote resource owners have been sent a syncpoint request. A remote resource owner has replied 'No' to a request to 'Prepare', during the two phase syncpoint protocol."
Kindly give in your suggestions to help me resolve the problem.

Regards
