Before you use the Simulator you should be aware of the following conditions:
- The instructions on how to run the Simulator include the steps on how
to execute all 4 IVP verification tests in succession. However, it is possible
during the IVP to alter the first byte of the selected input request message
in order to run the verification test that you want.
- If the first byte in the request message is a D, the request will be used
to simulate DPL server adapter processing.
- If the first byte in the request message is an M, the request will be
used to simulate WebSphere® MQ server adapter processing.
- If the first byte in the request message is an F, the request will be
used to simulate FEPI server adapter processing.
- If the first byte in the request message is an L, the request
will be used to simulate Link3270 server adapter processing.
- You may need to update and compile the FEPI server adapter program (DFHMAIP5)
to work within your environment. For example, if your site has a different
sign-on screen, you would need to update and recompile DFHMAIP5 to accommodate
this difference.
- The IVP can be initiated through either a DPL or a WebSphere MQ-CICS
bridge for the interface to the CICS® Service Flow Runtime DPL Stub program.
