Use optimized local adapters for outbound support
In this step, activate support for the optimized local adapters in the WAS daemon group or cell. This prepares the WAS to make outbound requests.
Subtopics
- (zos) Enable the server environment to use optimized local adapters
We must enable the application server to receive inbound and outbound requests using the optimized local adapters support. Optimized Local Adapters for z/OS is a set of callable services (APIs) that give native z/OS applications the ability to make inbound calls to application server enterprise beans, and enable native programs to act as a server and accept requests from applications running in the WebSphere Applications Server.
- (zos) Optimized local adapters deployment in development mode
Optimized local adapters can be used in development mode, which enables application developers to test their optimized local adapters enabled applications using a copy of WAS running on an operating system other than z/OS.
- (zos) Configure optimized local adapters in development mode on the remote z/OS node
The optimized local adapters for z/OS proxy EAR file must be installed on the remote z/OS node to enable the local node to communicate with it. The EAR file has a single resource reference, named eis/ola, which must be resolved to an optimized local adapters connection factory installed on the remote z/OS node.
- (zos) Configure optimized local adapters in development mode on the local node
The optimized local adapters for z/OS resource archive (RAR) file must be installed on the local node. When running on a non-z/OS platform, the optimized local adapters RAR file communicates with an instance of the optimized local adapters proxy EAR file on a remote z/OS node using Remote Method Invocation over Internet Inter-ORB Protocol (RMI-IIOP).
- (zos) WebSphere Optimized Local Adapter (WOLA) remote work request on an Enterprise Java Bean target
This feature allows a client application such as batch, CICS, etc. to contact a remote WebSphere Application Server server instance hosting an application whose business logic execution and results are required by the client. The remote invocation is done by leveraging the BBOA1INV/BBGA1INV and BBOA1SRQ/BBGA1SRQ APIs and a proxy application (RemoteEJBProxy), which is shipped with WebSphere Application Server for z/OS.
- Start an application server
When you start an application server, a new server process starts. This new server process is based on the process definition settings of the current server configuration.
- Directory conventions
References in product information to app_server_root, profile_root, and other directories imply specific default directory locations. Become familiar with the conventions in use for WebSphere Application Server.
What to do next
Prepare an existing application.
