Testing your scenario

To test that your scenario is configured correctly, start the CICS® Transaction Gateway and use the CICS TG Java™ sample EciB2 to call CICS server program EC01.

1. To test your scenario, issue the following command from a command prompt on the machine on which CICS TG is running. In this example command, the Gateway daemon TCP handler is listening on the default port.

   java com.ibm.ctg.samples.eci.EciB2
        jgate=localhost server=CICSA prog0=EC01 commarealength=18 ebcdic

   The ebcdic option is not required if you have set up a definition for EC01 in the DFHCNV data conversion macro on CICS.

   The output from the command is as follows:

   CICS Transaction Gateway Basic ECI Sample 2

   In the CICS job log you will see this message:

   DFHIS3000 ... IPCONN 00000006 with applid .00000006 autoinstalled 
   successfully using autoinstall user program DFHISAIP and template
   (NONE) after a connection request was received on tcpipservice SRV50889 
   from host 1.23.456.789

   where 00000006 is the name of the IPCONN automatically generated by the autoinstall template, DFHISAIP.
   If you issue the command CEMT INQ IPCONN, the output is as follows:
