We have been trying to get NetView Web Services Gateway working for a few days
now to no great effect when I found what looks like a bug. Firstly the
documentation is not that great as you have to install the XML Toolkit (and
GSKit if not already installed) although it doesn't really tell you that in any
clear terms. Once installed and configured I verified that it was working and
all seemed fine until you try to start the SOAP server under NetView and a
number of IEC141I messages are output. By adding SYSOUT and CEEDUMP DD
statements to the STC JCL it was found that a program: IXMLC19 could not be
found which is correct as this is for version 1.9 of the XML toolkit and we
have the latest, 1.10 installed. Interestingly enough, instead of the programs
being called something like IXMLCA0 they're called IXMLC21 but still...Further
investigation shows that none of the XML toolkit programs call or refer to this
program so what is?
The control program for the SOAP server is SYS1.CNMLINK(DSISRVR) and it is this
program that refers to IXMLC19 so this means that ýou are fixed to using
version 1.9 of the XML toolkit (I believe that you can run different versions
in parallel, hopefully.) The only NetView documentation that I could find that
refers to the XML toolkit is the announcement letter which states:
Web Services Gateway
XML Toolkit for z/OS V1.9, or later
So 'theoretically' you should be able to use 1.10 but you can't unless someone
knows better?
Thanks,
Sebastian
