Hi,
I have an online mainframe application based on Enterprise Cobol and CICS.
I need to access data from a remote SQL server from my CICS-COBOL program.
Can I use a webservice for this? Is it possible to call a webservice from a CICS-COBOL program? If yes, does anyone have an example?
Thanks and Regards,
Anu |

if I remember correctly the SE career steps were/are
trainee
associate
systems engineer
---
advisor
senior
consultant
the systems engineer rank was considered as full position and anybody would get it ( sooner or later )
for higher ranks You had to deserve it
the senior rank was roughly equivalent to a first level manager
and it was published in the IBM bulletin board
but it looks like things have changed a bit nowadays
frankly I see a bit awkward to see an IBM senior asking for free consultancy on a public forum
even for the systems engineer position one of the appraisal items
was the knowledge of and capacity of using the IBM internal resources |

| What kind of connection is there between your CICS region and the remote SQL server? That will largely determine what you can do. |

Thanks for the response.
There is no current connection between the CICS and SQL server.
I have a DB2 backend and the SQL server is another application's database. We need to access some data from there for a specific requirement and this has to be in real time.
I know MQ is an option. But will webservice work? It's easier for us to use web service because we already use that in some of our distributed applications.
Between, I am using IBM enterprise Cobol for z/OS 3.4.1.
Thanks and Regards,
Anu
Note: I am just using all available resources I have and that defenitely has IBM internal help as the first one. |
