3.1Creating and Configuring a VSAM eWay

All eWays contain a unique set of default configuration parameters. After the eWays are established and a VSAM External System is created in the Project’s Environment, the eWay parameters are modified for your specific system. The VSAM eWay configuration parameters are modified from two locations:

ƒConnectivity Map: These parameters most commonly apply to a specific component eWay, and may vary from other eWays (of the same type) in the Project.

ƒEnvironment Explorer : These parameters are commonly global, applying to all eWays (of the same type) in the Project. The saved properties are shared by all eWays in the VSAM External System window.

ƒCollaboration or Business Process: VSAM eWay properties may also be set from your Collaboration or Business Process, in which case the settings will override the corresponding properties in the eWay’s Connectivity Map configuration. Any properties that are not overridden retain their configured default settings.

3.2Configuring the eWay Connectivity Map Properties

When you connect an External Application to a Collaboration, Enterprise Designer automatically assigns the appropriate eWay to the link. Each eWay is supplied with a list of eWay connections (transaction support levels) from which to choose.

Transaction support levels provided by the VSAM eWay include:
