Chapter 7

Implementing the VSAM eWay Sample Projects

This chapter provides an introduction to the VSAM eWay components, and information on how these components are created and implemented in a Sun Java Composite Application Platform Suite Project. Sample Projects are designed to provide an overview of the basic functionality of the VSAM eWay by identifying how information is passed between eGate and supported external databases.

It is assumed that you understand the basics of creating a Project using the Enterprise Designer. For more information on creating an eGate Project, see the eGate Tutorial and the eGate Integrator User’s Guide.

7.1About the VSAM eWay Sample Projects

The VSAM eWay VSAM_eWay_Sample.zip file contains two sample Projects that provide basic instruction on using VSAM operations in the Java Collaboration Definition (JCD), or the Business Process Execution Language (BPEL) Projects.

ƒprjVSAM_JCD: demonstrates how to select, insert, update, and delete data from a VSAM database using JCDs.

ƒprjVSAM_BPEL: demonstrates how to select, insert, update, and delete data from a VSAM database using a BPEL business process.

Both the prjVSAM_JCD and prjVSAM_BPEL sample Projects demonstrate how to:

ƒSelect employee records from the database using a prepared statement.

ƒSelect employee records from the CICSEMP table.
