Procedure: How to Start iWay Explorer (Java Servlet)

To start iWay Explorer (Java Servlet):

  1. Ensure the server is started where iWay Explorer is running.
  2. Type the following URL in your browser window
    http://hostname:port/iwae/index.html

    where:

    hostname

    Is the name of the server where Service Manager is installed.

    port

    Is the SOAP port number for the server. The default SOAP port is 9000.

    iWay Explorer opens.

    The Available Hosts drop-down list appears in the upper-right corner. Three tabs appear near the top of the iWay Explorer window. From left to right they are:

    iWay Adapters, where you create and manage connections to CICS.

    iWay Events, where you configure CICS event listening.

    iWay Business Services, where you create and view business services.

    The left pane of the window contains an expandable list of adapter nodes (based on the adapters installed), events, or business services, depending on the tab that is selected. The right pane provides the details of the selected adapter, event, or service and is the work area where you define and modify adapter functions and services.

    The Available Hosts drop-down list specifies to which Servlet iBSP instance or JCA instance you connect.

    For more information on accessing different instances of a JCA installation or a Servlet iBSP, see the iWay Installation and Configuration documentation.

You are now ready to define a target to CICS.
