IDEAL 15.0/15.1 DOCUMENTS

Products

• Ideal

Issue/Introduction

 IDEAL 15.x Documents can be used:

• online to provide responses to Web Service requests
• in batch to produce static content (XML or HTML) that is loaded into a web server later

Documents are declaratively defined, and then filled by a simple PRODUCE verb, rather than elaborate construction logic being required to build the structure and markup of the result.

This should result in higher efficiency, eliminating a lot of string manipulation from the application logic. 

Environment

z/OS 
IDEAL 15.x

Resolution

To try it out , run IDEAL Source transport (IDUTSTRN) IMPORT to import the attached Ideal sources : program WEBTEST7 and Document MUFOPEN .

WEBTEST7 lists all bases that are open in an active MUF with their database entity name .

Create an Ideal  WEB transaction to run this program .

Make sure the CICS was started with TCPIP=YES in the SIT and that the TCPIPSERVICE is open  .

Result of running that WEB transaction in the browser in a demo test system:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
