Use the Jolt Repository Editor to add, modify, test, export, and delete Tuxedo service definitions from the Repository based on the information available from the Tuxedo configuration file. The Jolt Repository Editor accepts Tuxedo service definitions, including the names of the packages, services, and parameters.

"Using the Jolt Repository Editor" covers the following topics:

• Introduction to the Repository Editor

• Getting Started

• Main Components of the Repository Editor

• Setting Up Packages and Services

• Grouping Services Using the Package Organizer

• Modifying Packages/Services/Parameters

• Making a Service Available to the Jolt Client

• Testing a Service

• Troubleshooting

Introduction to the Repository Editor

The Jolt Repository is used internally by Jolt to translate Java parameters to a Tuxedo type buffer. The Repository Editor is available as a downloadable Java applet. When a Tuxedo service is added to the repository, it must be exported to the Jolt server to ensure that the client requests can be made from a Jolt client.

Repository Editor windows contain entry fields, scrollable displays, command buttons, status, and radio buttons. The following figure illustrates the parts of a sample window. Details are explained in the "Repository Editor Window Parts" table.

Repository Editor Window Description

The following table details the parts of the Repository Editor window shown in the previous figure.

Table 3-1 Repository Editor Window Parts

Part	Function
1 Text boxes	Enter text, numbers, or alphanumeric characters such as "Service Name," "Input View Name," server names, or port numbers. In the previous figure, "Service Name."
2 Drop-down arrow	View lists that extend beyond the display using an arrow button. In the previous figure, "Input Buffer Type" or "Output Buffer Type."
3 Display list	Select from a list of predefined items such as the Parameters list or select from a list of items that have been defined.
4 Command buttons	Activate an operation such as display the Packages window, Services window, or Package Organizer. In the previous figure, command buttons include: "Save Service," "Test," "Back," "New," "Edit," "Delete."
5 Status	View the current status of the Repository Editor service or package. (This item does not appear in the previous figure.)
6 Radio buttons	Select one of a number of options. Only one of the radio buttons can be activated at a time. For example, Export Status can only be "Unexport" or "Export."

Getting Started

Before starting the Repository Editor, make sure you have installed all the necessary Jolt components (at least the Jolt Server and the Jolt Client). To use the Repository Editor, you must:

• Start the Repository Editor.

• Log on to the Repository Editor.

  Note: For information on exiting the Repository Editor after you have entered information, refer to "Exiting the Repository Editor" in this chapter.

4. View the parameters for a selected service in the Parameters display list.

   In the following figure, ACCOUNT_ID, FORMNAM, SBALANCE and STATLIN are the available parameters for the INQUIRY service.

Setting Up Packages and Services

This section includes the necessary steps for setting up a package and its services:

• Adding a package

• Adding a service

• Adding a parameter

Saving Your Work

As you are creating and editing services and parameters, it is important to regularly save information to ensure that you do not inadvertently lose any input. Selecting Save Service can prevent the need to re-enter information in the event of a system failure.

Caution: Be sure to exercise caution when you are adding or editing the parameters of a service. You must select Add before choosing Back from the Edit Parameters window and returning to the Edit Services window.

If adding a new service or modifying an existing service at the Edit Services window, be sure to select Save Service before choosing Back. If you select Back before you save the modified information, a warning briefly displays on the status line at the bottom of the window.

If you need to add a new group of services, you must create a new package before adding the services. Figure 3-8 shows how to add a new package, BALANCE, to the Packages listing.

Follow these instructions to add a package:

1. Select Packages from the Logon window.

   The Packages window displays.

2. Select Package Organizer.

   The Package Organizer window displays. (For a description of the Package Organizer window, see "Package Organizer Description" in this chapter in this chapter.)

3. Select New Package from the Package Organizer window.

   The text field is activated.

4. Type the name of the new package (not to exceed 32 characters) and press Enter.

   The new name (in the following figure, BALANCE) is displayed in the Packages display list in random order.

Adding a Service

Services are definitions of available Tuxedo services and can only be a part of a Jolt package. You are not required to create a new package before creating a new service; however, you must create the service as a part of a package, even if it is moved to a different package at a later date.

The Repository Editor accepts the new service name exactly as it is typed (that is, all capital letters, abbreviations, misspellings are accepted). Service names must not exceed 30 characters. The following figure shows an Adding New Service window.

Adding a Service Window Description

The following listing describes the options for adding services to a package in a package window.

	Option	Description
Edit Services Selections	Service Name	The name of the new service to be added to the Repository.
	Input Buffer Type/Output Buffer Type	VIEW - a C-structure and 16-bit integer field. Contains subtypes that have a particular structure. X_C_TYPE and X_COMMON are equivalent. X_COMMON is used for COBOL and C. VIEW32 - similar to VIEW, except 32-bit field identifiers are associated with VIEW32 structure elements. CARRAY - an array of uninterrupted binary data that is neither encoded nor decoded during transmission; it may contain null characters. X_OCTET is equivalent. FML - a type in which each field carries its own definition. FML32 - similar to FML except the ID field and length field are 32 bits long. STRING - a character array terminated by a null character that is encoded or decoded.
	Input View Name/Output View Name	A unique name assigned to the Input View Buffer and Output View Buffer types. These fields are only enabled if VIEW or VIEW32 are the selected buffer types.
	Export Status	Lists current status of the service. EXPORT or UNEXPORT status is displayed. UNEXPORT is the default.
Service Level Actions	Save Service	This command button saves newly created service in the Repository.
	Test	Tests the service. This command button is disabled until a new service is created or edits to an existing service are saved.
	Back	This command button returns you to the previous window.
Parameters	Parameters	List of service parameters to edit or delete.
Parameter Level Actions	New	This command button adds new parameters to the service.
	Edit	An existing parameter can be edited. This command button is disabled until a new parameter is selected.
	Delete	This command button deletes a parameter. This option is disabled until a parameter is selected.

Instructions for Adding a Service

To add a service, follow these instructions:

1. From the Logon window, select Services.

2. Select the package where the service is going to be added.

   If you are uncertain which package should contain the new service, select a package and use the Package Organizer to move the service to a different package. (See "Grouping Services Using the Package Organizer" for additional information.)

3. Select New from the Services window.

   The Edit Services window is displayed.

4. Select the Service Name text field to activate it.

5. Type the service name.

6. Select the buffer type.

   Although the same buffer type selected for the Input Buffer is automatically selected for the Output Buffer, you can change the Output Buffer type to a different buffer type.

7. If VIEW or VIEW32 is selected, type the Input View Name and Output View Name in the accompanying text field.

8. If another buffer type is selected, the Input View Name and Output View Name text fields are disabled.

9. If CARRAY or STRING is selected, refer to "Selecting CARRAY or STRING as a Service Buffer Type" in this chapter for additional instructions.

10. Select Save Service to save the newly created service.

If CARRAY or STRING is selected as the buffer type for a new service, only CARRAY or STRING can be added as the data type for the accompanying parameters. See also "Adding a Parameter" and "Selecting CARRAY or STRING as a Parameter Data Type" in this chapter. For further information, refer to "Using the Jolt Class Library"

The following figure is an example of the Edit Services window with STRING as the selected buffer type for the service.

Adding a Parameter

Selecting New Parameter from the Edit Services window brings up the Edit Parameters window. Review the features in the following figure. Use this window to enter the parameter and window information for a service.

The following figure is an example of the Edit Parameters window used to add a new parameter.

Parameters Window Description

The following listing describes the Edit Parameters window options.

Option	Description
Field Name	Adds the field name (for example, asset, inventory).
Type	List data type choices: byte - 8-bit short - 16-bit integer - 32-bit float - 32-bit double - 64-bit string - null-terminated character array carray - variable length 8-bit character array
Direction	Lists choices for direction of information: Input - Information is directed from the client to the server. Output - Information is directed from the server to the client. Both - Information is directed from the client to the server, and from the server to the client.
Occurrence(s)	Number of times that an identical field name can be used. If 0, the field name can be used an unlimited number of times. Occurrences are used by Jolt to build test screens; not to limit information sent or retrieved by Tuxedo.
Clear	This command button clears the fields of the window.
Change	This command button is disabled while new parameters are added.
Add	This command button adds new parameters to the service. The parameters are saved when the service is saved.
Back	This command button returns the user to the previous window.

Instructions for Adding a Parameter

1. Select Field Name to activate the field and type the field name.

   Note: If the buffer type is FML or VIEW, the field name must match the corresponding parameter field name in FML or VIEW.

2. Select the data type.

3. Select the Occurrences text field to activate it, and then enter the number of occurrences.

4. Specify a direction by selecting the input, output, or both radio buttons.

5. Select Add to append the information. Add does not save the parameter.

6. Select Save Service to save the parameter as a part of the service.

   Warning: If you do not select Save Service before you select Back, the parameters are not saved as part of the service.

7. Select Back to return to the previous window.

If CARRAY or STRING is the selected buffer type for a new service, only carray or string can be added as the data type for the accompanying parameters.

In this case, only one parameter can be added. It is recommended that you use the parameter name "CARRAY" for a CARRAY buffer type, and the parameter name "STRING" for a STRING buffer type.

See also "Instructions for Adding a Service" and "Selecting CARRAY or STRING as a Service Buffer Type" in this chapter. For further information, refer to "Using the Jolt Class Library" .

The following figure is an example of the Edit Parameters window with string as the selected data type for the parameter. The Type defaults to string and does not allow you to modify that particular data type. The Field Name can be any name.

Grouping Services Using the Package Organizer

The Package Organizer moves services between packages. You may want to group related services in a package (for example, WITHDRAWAL services that are exported only at a certain time of the day can be grouped together in a package).

The Package Organizer arrow buttons allow you to move a service from one package to another. These buttons are useful if you have several services to move between packages. The packages and services display listings to help track a service within a particular package.

The following figure is an example a of Package Organizer window with a service selected for transfer to another package.

Package Organizer Description

The following table describes the options for the Package Organizer window:

Option	Description
Available Packages (left display list)	Lists packages available where the service to be moved currently resides.
Available Packages (right display list)	Lists packages available as destinations for the service you are moving.
Services (left display list)	Lists available services for the highlighted package that can be moved.
Services (right display list)	Lists available services of the highlighted package that have been moved.
Left arrow	Moves services (one service at a time) to the package highlighted on the left.
Right arrow	Moves services (one service at a time) to the package highlighted on the right.
New Package	Adds the name of a new package.
Back	Returns user to the previous window.

Instructions for Grouping Services with the Package Organizer

1. Select the package containing the services to be moved from the Packages left display window to the right display window.

   In the previous figure, BANKAPP is the selected package.

2. Select the service to be moved from the Services left display window to the right display window.

   In the previous figure, INQUIRY is the selected service in the BANKAPP package.

3. Select the package to receive the service from the Packages right display window.

   The previous figure shows the selected service, INQUIRY, and the selected package, BANK, to which the INQUIRY service will be moved.

   Figure 3-14 Example of a Moved Service

   

4. To move the services between the packages, select the left arrow (<-) or right arrow (->).

   These keys are activated only when both packages and a service are selected. The keys are only active in the direction of the package where the service is to be moved. The previous figure shows how the Repository Editor moves the INQUIRY service to the BANK package on the right.

   Note: You cannot select the same package in both the left and right display lists.

If a package, service, or parameter requires any modifications, you can make the following changes:

• Edit a service

• Edit a parameter

• Delete a parameter/service/package

Editing a Service

Edit an existing service name, service information, or access the window to add new parameters to an existing service. For a description of the Edit Services window, see "Adding a Service Window Description" in this chapter. The following figure is an example of the Edit Services window.

1. To delete packages, select Packages from the Logon window. The Packages window displays.

2. Select a package.

3. Select Delete.

   The package is deleted.

To make a service available to a Jolt client, you must export it. All services in a package must be exported or unexported as a group. A service is made available by using the Export and Unexport radio buttons.

This section discusses:

• Exporting/Unexporting services

• Reviewing the Export/Unexport status

Exporting/Unexporting Services

Determine which services are being made available or unavailable to the Jolt client. Services are exported to ensure that the Jolt client can access the most current service definitions from the Jolt server.

The following figure shows the Packages window. From there you can Export and Unexport services.

Exporting/Unexporting a Service

Follow the instructions below to export or unexport a service.

1. Select Packages from the Logon window.

   The Packages window displays.

2. Select a package. Export and Unexport are enabled.

3. To make services available, select Export.

4. To make services unavailable, select Unexport.

   Caution: The system does not display a confirmation message indicating that the service is exported or unexported. See "Reviewing the Exported/Unexported Status" in this chapter for additional information.

When a service is exported or unexported, you can review its status from the Edit Services window. The following figure shows the current status as EXPORTED.

Reviewing the Exported/Unexported Status

To review the current exported or unexported status of a service, follow these instructions:

1. Select Services from the Logon window.

   The Services window displays.

2. To find out if a service has been exported or unexported, check its status by selecting a package from the Package display list.

   The Services display list is enabled with a listing of services for the selected package.

3. Select the desired service.

4. Select Edit. The Edit Services window displays with the Current Status of the service as EXPORTED or UNEXPORTED.

Before they are made available to Jolt clients, a service and its parameters should be tested to ensure that they are functioning properly. Services that are currently available can be tested without making changes to the services and parameters.

Note: The Jolt Repository Editor allows you to test an existing Tuxedo service with Jolt without writing a line of Java code.

An exported or unexported service can be tested; if you need to change a service and its parameters, unexport the service prior to editing.

This section explains the following:

• Jolt Repository Editor Service Test Window

• Testing a Service Instructions

Repository Editor Service Test Window

Test the service to ensure that the parameter information is accurate. Although Test is enabled when parameters are not added to the service, the Service Test window (the following figure) displays the parameter fields as "unused" and they are disabled. A service can only be tested when the corresponding Tuxedo server is running for the service being tested.

Note: The Service Test window displays up to 20 items of any multiple-occurrence parameters. All items that follow the twentieth occurrence of a parameter cannot be tested.

The following figure shows an example of a Service Test window with writable and read-only text fields.

Service Test Window Description

The following table details the Service Test window.

Note: You can enter a two-digit hexadecimal character (0-9, a-f, A-F) for each byte in the CARRAY data field. For example, the hexadecimal value for 1234 decimal is 0422.

Table 3-2

Option	Description
Service	Displays the name of the tested service (read-only).
Parameters displayed	Tracks the parameters displayed in the window (read-only).
Parameter text fields	The parameter information text entry field. These fields are writable or read-only. Disabled if read-only.
RUN	Runs the test with the data entered.
Clear	Clears the text entry field.
Next	Lists additional parameter fields, if applicable.
Prev	Lists previous parameter fields, if applicable.
Back	Returns to the Edit Services window.

Testing a Service Process Flow

Troubleshooting

Consult the following table if you encounter problems while using the Repository Editor.

Table 3-3 Repository Editor Troubleshooting Table

If . . .	Then . . .
You receive any error	Make sure the browser you are running is Java-enabled: For Netscape browsers, make sure that "Enable Java" and "Enable JavaScript" are checked under Edit-> Preferences->Advanced. Then select Communicator-> Tools->Java Console. If the Java Console does not exist on the menu, the browser probably does not support Java. For Internet Explorer, make sure the version is 3.0 (or later). If running Netscape Navigator, check the Java Console for error messages. If running appletviewer, check the system console (or the window where you started the appletviewer ).
You cannot connect to the Jolt Server (after entering Server and Port Number)	Check and make sure that: Your Server name is correct (and accessible from your machine). Check that the port number is the correct port. There must be a JSL or JRLY configured to listen on that port. The Jolt server is up and running. If any authentication is enabled, check that you are entering the correct user names and passwords. If the applet was loaded through http, the Web server, JRLY and the Jolt server must be on the same machine (i.e., the Server name entered into the Repository Editor must be the same machine as the one used in the URL to download the applet).
You cannot start the Repository Editor	If you are running the editor in a browser and downloading the applet through http, make sure that: The browser is Java-enabled. The Web server is running and accessible. The RE.html file is available to the Web server. The RE.html file contains the correct <codebase> parameter (this is where the Jolt class files are located). If running the editor in a browser (or appletviewer ) and loading the applet from disk, make sure that: The browser is Java-enabled. The RE.html file exists and is readable. The RE.html file is Java-enabled. The RE.html file contains the correct <codebase> parameter (this is where the Jolt class files are installed on the local disk). CLASSPATH is set and points to the Jolt class directory.
You cannot display Packages or Services even though you are sure they exist	Make sure that the Jolt Repository Server is running (JREPSVR). Make sure that the JREPSVR can access the repository file. Make sure that the configuration of JREPSVR: verify CLOPT parameters and verify that jrep.f16 (FML definition file) is installed and accessible (follow installation documentation)
You cannot save changes in the Repository Editor	Check permissions on the repository file. The file must be writable by the user who starts JREPSVR.
You cannot test services	Check that the service is available. Verify the service definition matches the service. If Tuxedo authentication is enabled, check that you have the required permissions to execute the service. Check if the application file (FML or VIEW) is specified correctly in the variables (FIELDTBLS or VIEWFILES) in the ENVFILE. All applications' FML field tables or VIEW files must be specified in the FIELDTBLS and VIEWFILES environment variables in the ENVFILE. If these files are not specified, the JSH is unable to process data conversion and you will receive the message "ServiceException: TPEJOLT data conversion failed." Check the ULOG file for any additional diagnostic messages.
