WCA4Z Data Generator​

The WCA4Z Data Generator is for generating data. It lives on the ADDI host.

Retrieving the installation file​

If you have already downloaded RA version 1.1.x, open up WinSCP on the ADDI host.

Create a login to the RA host in WinSCP CleanShot 2024-03-05 at 14 14 41

Save the login and connect.

If you've already followed the directions here for the config and install of RA, you should have the extracted folder sitting in your home directory:

Configuration and Build of GenApp project​

Download the CCS GenApp code zip to the ADDI host from here

Extract C:\Users\Administrator\Downloads\cics-genapp-main.zip.

Expand-Archive -LiteralPath 'C:\Users\Administrator\Downloads\cics-genapp-main.zip' -DestinationPath 'D:\'

Create a new Project​

Let's create an INI project file in D:\

Values should be as follows in our example.

  • DBServerName - this should be BLUDB. It is the db2 cloud database entry we created here
  • FQDN + port - should be retrieved from the returned JSON from here. Our example cloud db2 url is <DB2_HOSTNAME>:31106

project.ini

[ADNewProj]
ProjectName = "GenAppSD"
Path = "C:\IBM AD\Mainframe Projects\GenAppSD"
Environment = "zOS"
ProjectLanguages = "DT Cobol,Assembler,Cobol,Natural,PL1,Ads"
DBTypes = "Datacom,IDMS,Adabas,Relational,IMS/DB"
MapTypes = "Natural (LNM),CICS (BMS), IMS TM (MFS),ADS Map"
ProjectDBType = "DB2_LUW"
CCSEnvironment = "Default"
DBServerName = "BLUDB [<DB2_HOSTNAME>:31106]"
DBName = "BLUDB"
AttachToDB = "Y"
EnableCross = "N"

Make sure the directory for Path exists. Create the folder.

mkdir 'C:\IBM AD\Mainframe Projects\GenAppSD'

Run the project creation command:

cd "C:\Program Files\IBM Application Discovery and Delivery Intelligence\IBM Application Discovery Build Client\Bin\Release"
.\IBMApplicationDiscoveryBuildClient.exe /np "D:\project.ini"
