Testing an Optim interoperability service

You can test an Optim™ interoperability service from Optim Designer. You can test the service before you publish the service to the Optim Manager environment.

Before you can test an Optim interoperability service for an Optim request on Linux, UNIX, or Windows, you must define an Optim pr0cmnd location in the Optim preferences.

Before you can test an Optim interoperability service for an Optim request on z/OS®, you must define a z/OS host configuration in the Optim preferences.

To test an Optim interoperability service:
  1. Open the Services folder.
  2. Right-click an Optim interoperability service and click Execute Optim Service. Optim Manager opens. If the service includes an Optim request on Linux, UNIX, or Windows, the Run Service window is displayed. If the service includes an Optim request on z/OS, the Run Service wizard is displayed.
  3. Review the service properties according to the request type:
    • For an Optim request on Linux, UNIX, or Windows, verify the import parameters and run parameters.
    • For an Optim request on z/OS, select a z/OS host configuration and verify the JCL. You can also specify a dataset to contain the request instead of using JCL.
  4. Click Run. You can click Service Monitoring to monitor the progress of the service.
