Add Service

  Use this page to add a new service to the current server.

  Top

Name

  Specify the name of the new service, up to 255 characters. You cannot include angle brackets (<>) or ampersands (&) in the name.

  A service name can consist of a service namespace and an operation name, separated by a special character. The character depends on which request handler is being used, MFRHSOAP or MFRHBINP.

  If there is no separating character, the name of the operation is considered to be the same as the name of the service.

  If the service will be using the MFRHSOAP request handler, the text before the first pound character (#) in the name is considered to be the service namespace and the text after is considered to be the name of the operation.

  If the service will be using the MFRHBINP request handler, the text before the last period character (.) in the name is considered to be the service namespace and the text after is considered to be the name of the operation.

Search Order

  Specify the search order of the service. If more than one service object has the same name, then a program client can use Search Order to decide which service to use. The lower the search order is, the higher the search priority.

  Top

Service Class

  Specify the service class of the service (optional). This field provides a means of grouping services, so that a client program can ask for a class of service rather than a specific named service. Service classes beginning with MF are reserved for Micro Focus use. Service Class can be up to 32 characters in length.

  Top

Version

  Specify the version string of the service. This consists of three elements in decreasing order of significance: major version, minor version, build version. This can be used to distinguish between services of the same name or class.

  Top

Transaction Management

  Click one button to choose the type of transaction management that this service uses:

  - Application for a service in which the COBOL application manages its own transactions .
  - Container for a service in which the COBOL application leaves transaction management to the service.

  If the client is transactional, such as a J2EE transactional request, this setting is ignored and the service is forced to be container managed. Container-managed services should not make any explicit transactional requests, for example, EXEC SQL COMMIT WORK statements.
