Using CICS® web services for HTTP traffic
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
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.
