Batch processor

The batch processor is a command-line utility for generating enterprise Web service description files and message converter files for CICS® and IMS applications.

Web service files generated by the batch processor are identical to those generated in the single-service projects (see Web service development scenarios: Single-service projects).

The advantages of using the batch processor are (a) that it reads configuration information from generation properties files that you can save and reuse, and (b) that optionally it can generate Web service files for multiple Web services in one execution.

The generation properties files for the batch processor are
  • Container.xml
  • ServiceSpecification.xml
  • PlatformProperties.xml
Note: To make the batch processor generate files for more than one Web service, create a separate and uniquely named ServiceSpecification.xml file for each Web service.
The batch processor supports the following scenario that is not supported by the single-service wizards:
