Deployment Configuration Requirements

Web Service Properties

Before deploying a COBOL Program service interface, ensure that you have set the Web Service properties appropriate for the type of service interface. Generally, you can accept the default properties; however, you might need to make some adjustments for the following:

All COBOL Program service interfaces

The Endpoint URL port number is 9003 by default and must match the Endpoint Address port number specified for the Web Services and J2EE listener of the associated enterprise server instance. If you change the Endpoint Address, be sure to update the Endpoint URL property to match.

See To set deployment properties for instructions on making changes to Web Service properties.

Enterprise Server Requirements

Enterprise Server provides a default enterprise server instance, ESDEMO, that is configured to run COBOL program-based services. However, if you want to create and configure an enterprise server instance to use specifically for your service, follow the steps outlined in To create a new enterprise server, and use the ESTemplate.xml template.

Web Services and J2EE listener

You need to adjust the Web Services and J2EE listener configuration of your enterprise server instance by providing an Endpoint Address port number that matches the Endpoint URL port number specified in your Web Service properties. The default Endpoint URL port number is 9003. See To set a fixed port in a listener endpoint address for details.

Note: If you decide to use a port other than 9003, be sure to update the Endpoint URL port number in your Web Service properties.

Also, depending on the type of service, you might need to change the supported conversion type for the Web Services and J2EE listener. This setting is on the same page as Endpoint Address. Use the following table as a guide:

Service Type	Conversion Type
SOAP	SOAP and J2EE (legacy)
Java (EJB)	SOAP and J2EE (legacy)
REST	Web Services and J2EE

Other Considerations

Before deploying a service interface, ensure that you have addressed each of these items:

• Start the enterprise server instance.
• If your enterprise server instance runs in 64-bit, and you deploy from a Windows 32-bit system, then the service driver program is not compiled and the compiled service driver program is not included in the deployment package. However, the COBOL source for the service driver program is always included in the deployment package. You must recompile the COBOL source for 64-bit; then copy the compiled program to the enterprise server instance. See Compiling Native COBOL Programs for 64-Bit for instructions.
• If your enterprise server instance is running on a remote UNIX installation of Enterprise Server, you can still deploy to that enterprise server; however, after you deploy, you must then compile the generated driver program for your service on the platform where Enterprise Server is running. See To compile a service driver program on a remote UNIX machine for instructions.
