JCA resource adapter installation verification test (IVT)

The JCA resource adapter installation verification test (IVT) verifies whether the ECI resource adapter can be used with a particular application server.

The IVT can be used to verify the use of the ECI resource adapter with a JEE 6, or later, application server.

The IVT runs as a servlet within a JEE application server and calls program EC01 on the CICS® server. The IVT sends two ECI requests to CICS. When deploying IVT, you have to set the xaSupport parameter in ConnectionFactory to 'on', to enable support for both transactional and non-transactional requests:

  1. A non-transactional request, which is not coordinated by the transaction manager.
  2. A transactional request, which uses the global transaction support provided by the application server.

IBM® has successfully tested the ECI resource adapter on those application servers listed on the IBM support page. For other JEE application servers, if you experience problems after you have successfully run this IVT, you can report problems to IBM for investigation. If the IVT does not run successfully, problems you encounter are likely to be caused by incorrect deployment of the ECI resource adapter. Investigate the problem using your JEE application server documentation and support organization.
