Web Services Analysis workspace

The Web Services Analysis workspace determines the status of the various aspects of the connectivity between your CICS® regions and your Web services (software systems designed to support interoperable, machine-to-machine interaction over a network).

With Web services, your CICS applications can communicate with heterogeneous Web applications as a Web services requester, a Web services provider, or both. If you are experiencing problems integrating your CICS applications with other business applications using the Worldwide Web, use this workspace to quickly verify that all the Web service components are defined and available.

The predefined Web Services Analysis workspace contains the following table views:

  • The Web Services Summary table view provides a summary of all the Web services currently available. From the Web Services Summary table view you can link to the following workspaces: If the latest version of the ITCAM for SOA product is also installed and running, you can link to the Performance Summary workspace, that is filtered by the Web Service name and Operation attributes. With this feature, you can track a transaction's activity as it moves between the CICS and ITCAM for SOA products.
  • The Pipeline Summary view summarizes information about pipelines referenced by your Web services. From the Pipeline Summary workspace, you can link to the Pipeline Details workspace.
  • The Virtual Host Detail view provides a summary of all your currently defined virtual hosts.
  • The Document Template Details view provides detailed information about all document templates defined for your Web services. From the Document Template Details view, depending on the Source Type for the view row you select when linking, you can link to the following workspaces:
