The problems that you might get when implementing Web services
in CICS can occur during the deployment process or at run time, when CICS
is transforming SOAP messages.
Diagnosing deployment errors
Deployment errors can occur when you try to run the Web services
assistant batch jobs or install a PIPELINE or WEBSERVICE resource in CICS®. In the
event of a deployment error, PIPELINE resources usually install in a DISABLED
state, and WEBSERVICE resources install in an UNUSABLE state. The most common
deployment errors are described here, including the symptom of the problem,
the cause and the solution.
Diagnosing service provider runtime errors
If you are having problems receiving or processing inbound messages
in a provider mode pipeline, there could be a problem with the transport or
a specific SOAP message.
Diagnosing service requester runtime errors
If you are having problems sending Web service requests from your
service requester application, or you are receiving SOAP fault messages from
the Web service provider, the problems could be due to errors in individual
Web services or issues at the transport level.
Diagnosing data conversion errors
Data conversion errors can occur at run time when converting a
SOAP message into a CICS COMMAREA or container and from a COMMAREA or container
into a SOAP message.
