About the VSAM eWay Sample Projects

Assigning Operations in JCD

Database operations are listed as methods in the JCD. Perform the following steps to access these methods:

1Create a Collaboration that contains a database OTD created from the VSAM database.

2Right-click the OTD listed in your Collaboration and then select Select Method to Call from the shortcut menu.

3Browse to and select a method to call.

Assigning Operations in BPEL

You can associate an eInsight Business Process Activity with the eWay, both during the system design phase and during run time. To make this association:

1Select the desired receive or write operation under the eWay in the Enterprise Explorer.

2Drag the operation onto the eInsight Business Process canvas.

The operation automatically changes to an Activity with an icon identifying the component that is the basis for the Activity.

At run time, the eInsight engine invokes each step in the order that you defined in the Business Process. Using the engine’s Web Services interface, the Activity in turn invokes the eWay. You can open a file specified in the eWay and view its contents before and after the Business Process is executed.

Note: Inbound database eWays are only supported within BPEL Collaborations.

7.1.2About the eInsight Engine and eGate Components

You can deploy an eGate component as an Activity in an eInsight Business Process. Once you have associated the desired component with an Activity, the eInsight engine can invoke it using a Web Services interface.

Examples of eGate components that can interface with eInsight in this way are:

ƒObject Type Definitions (OTDs)

ƒAn eWay

ƒCollaborations

Using the eGate Enterprise Designer and eInsight, you can add an Activity to a Business Process, then associate that Activity with an eGate component, for example, an eWay. When eInsight run the Business Process, it automatically invokes that component via its Web Services interface.
