Installing SOAP Gateway on multiple mount points

To install SOAP Gateway on multiple mount points, modify each of the installation JCL jobs, SOAP Gateway runtime configuration member, and server startup procedure.

  • You must have gone through the SMP/E process by following the instructions in the Program Directory.
  • The IBM® Installation Manager instance must be able to access the file system where the SOAP Gateway repository file is located.
Tip: You can also use this roadmap for installation on one mount point if you prefer manual configuration of each job, configuration member, and procedure instead of using the installVars.properties file to specify all variable values to generate a custom set of jobs.
Table 1. Roadmap for installing and configuring SOAP Gateway by stepping through the JCL jobs and procedure
Step Description of task
1 Follow the steps in Installing SOAP Gateway by using IBM Installation Manager to allocate and mount a file system on the target system for SOAP Gateway installation and installing SOAP Gateway by using the IBM Installation Manager.
2 Configure SOAP Gateway runtime properties by manually editing AEWPOSIN, AEWIOGCF, AEWIOGPR, and AEWIOGBP.
3 Ensure that the user that starts the SOAP Gateway server is set up for RACF. See Defining the OMVS segment and user ID to set up RACF for the SOAP Gateway started task for more information.
4 Start the SOAP Gateway server to check if the installation is successful.
To start the server, use the z/OS START command:
/START AEWIOGPR
The IOG30001I message is displayed, indicating that the server is up and running.
5 Configure IMS Connect for SOAP Gateway.

IMS Connect manages the translation of message headers on input and output messages and provides a point of control to modify, route, and check security for messages from and to SOAP Gateway.

6 Verify the installation by using the SOAP Gateway Installation Verification Program (IVP).
7 (Optional) Configure SOAP Gateway , such as the server port numbers or the log file location.
8 (Optional) If you are upgrading from IMS Enterprise Suite Version 3.1 SOAP Gateway, migrate your web services. See Migrating from IMS Enterprise Suite Version 3.1 SOAP Gateway.
9 (Optional) Clone the SOAP Gateway server.
10 (Optional) Install multiple SOAP Gateway server instances that share one JVM.
