1.5.5 SOAP Outbound (Mainframe Invoking An External Web Service)
The wsdlcvt
command is used to generate COBOL copybook from WSDL/schema. Outbound services are invoked using RECORD
payloads and are automatically detected and converted using GWWS.
You can invoke wsdlcvt
using the -C
argument to generate MIF with RECORD
type definitions, WSDF
, XSD
, RECORD
files and COBOL copybook source files.
wsdlcvt
has the -D
option to specify a string length to use when xsd:string
types are not constrained by size. Otherwise the default for strings is 256(PIC X(256))
.
The generated MIF entry servicetype
is set to "sna
".
