You can use CICS® web
services to record, redirect, or create stubs for HTTP traffic. CICS programs can make available
or use HTTP-based web services.
About this task
IBM® Rational® Integration Tester can
be used to do these tasks.
- Test a CICS program
that is available as an HTTP web service.
- Virtualize an HTTP-based web service that is called
from a CICS program.
- Use the HTTP client open exit XWBOPEN to specify
an HTTP proxy for the CICS programs
to use.
You can then use the HTTP/TCP proxy from the IBM Rational Test Control Panel to
test HTTP traffic.
To record or virtualize a
web service that is called from a CICS transaction:
Procedure
- Ensure that CICS uses
the HTTP proxy included in the Rational Test Control Panel.
- Configure CICS to
use an HTTP proxy by using the HTTP client open exit XWBOPEN.
For information about how to specify an HTTP
proxy for CICS, go to HTTP client open exit XWBOPEN.
