CEMT PERFORM PIPELINE
Use the PERFORM PIPELINE command to initiate a scan of the web service binding directory that is specified in the WSDIR attribute of the PIPELINE definition.
In the CICS Explorer, the Pipelines view provides a functional equivalent to this command.
Description
If the WSDIR attribute is not specified, there is nothing to scan, and control returns to your program. If the directory location specified is valid, CICS® examines the Web service binding files in the directory to determine if they should be installed into the system:
- CICS installs any files it finds that have not been installed already.
- If a file has been installed already, but the file in the directory is newer than the one currently in use, the one that is in use is discarded, and the newer file is installed in its place.
If, for any reason, CICS fails to install an individual Web service binding file, processing continues with the remaining files in the directory. When the scan completes, the PIPELINE is available for use with whichever of the binding files were installed successfully.
A failure to perform the requested action will be reported by returning a condition and RESP2 value from the command and, in certain cases, by writing messages to CSMT. The requested action may have been partially successful because a failure does not cause the effects of the command to be backed out. Also, failure does not necessarily stop the command from continuing in order to increase the extent to which it was partially successful.
