Configuration of Services

You have to configure some services before Substation ES™ can exchange data between systems that run in the z/OS environment and external TIBCO messaging applications.

Before you can pass data between an external TIBCO messaging application and a transaction processing application, you must establish communications and determine how data is transformed between these environments. Data is transformed by Substation ES Transformer (referred to as Transformer) that you configure through the transformer data configuration user interface (DCUI) panels.

  • Overview of Data Transformation
    Substation ES subscribes to and publishes TIBCO messages on behalf of CICS and IMS transaction processing applications that run on the z/OS system.
  • Definitions of Configuration Metadata
    Definitions of configuration metadata are stored in a file that is read by Substation ES. These definitions determine how Substation ES Transformer processes and transforms message data.
  • Allocation of Configuration File
    You can use File Creation JCL to create a new version of the Substation ES Transformer Configuration file for use with Substation ES.
  • Configuring Substation ES Transformer
    You can configure Substation ES Transformer from the Transform Configuration panel.
  • Transformer DCUI Panels and Usage
    You can configure Substation ES Transformer to transform data through the Transformer data configuration user interface (DCUI) panels.
