Hi all,

I have a request that i should parse an XML document that would come from a webpage and get the data from it and put it in a TS queue and invoke a CICS Transaction.

We have two ways:

1) Call DB2 Stored procedure and use COBOL XML Event handlers to parse the XML document and then do an EXCI Call to a CICS program with the data in COMMAREA, which in turn prepares the TS queue and invokes the transaction.

2) Have a java application that would parse the xml, get the data and use CICS Transaction Gateway to call a CICS program that would again build the TS queue and invoke the transaction.


Which of these solutions would be economical and show a better performance?

Thanks,
Seshu.

A_seshu,

Can I suggest another alternative?

1. Trigger a batch cobol program which reads in the xml document and creates a regular file and write it to a vsam file.

2. Now kick off the cics transaction after the completion of the batch job.

Hope this helps...

Cheers
