    Hi,

    Is it possible to expose TI Component definitions (.dll) as XMl Web services (.asmx) in HIS 2010 (Windows Initiated Processing) for access to/calling Host programs? In TIManager I only find choise "WCF Service". In the "Product Overview" white paper is says that XML Web Service should be possible in addition to WCF Service .

    As WCF services can be configured to be backwards compatible to WS, we decided to forgo the inclusion of WS in TI Manager. I am not sure what the twiddly bits are to make WCF look like WS (maybe it is as simple as using BasicHttpBinding or something like that)...but a Bing search might bring it to light if no-one on here knows for sure.

    Hi,

    HIS 2010 RTM doesn't support classic Webservices (asmx) but ... :-) I've opened a DCR at Microsoft to reimplement that feature in HIS 2010. That DCR is available in HIS 2010 CU1 and CU2 :-)

    The only thing that you need to do is to take that assembly (.dll), put it in a bin directory on your IIS. Manualy create the classic asmx file :

    <%@ WebService Class=“CICSLibrary.WebService.CICSInterface,CICSLibrary“ %>

    You don't even have to deploy the TI assembly to the TI Manager if you are using CU1 or CU2 :-)

    Hi Steve,

    Thanks for the quick reply. I've followed your instructions, added CU1 and manually created the asmx-file. It seems promising, but when I try to hit the asmx-file I get:

    Cannot serialize member Microsoft.HostIntegration.TI.BaseRemoteEnvironment.VendorREEntries of type System.Collections.Hashtable, because it implements IDictionary.

    The DLL is created in VS2010 w/HIS 2010 + CU1.

    Any Idea what might be the reason to the error or how to get around it? I am working on an upgraded server (2009->2010) and need to run the services as XML Web Services to avoid modifications to the clients of the services when we upgrade the prod. server.

    Best Regards,

    Tor Korten

    Hi Tor,

    In my case it has worked migrating HIS 2006 to HIS 2010 using the TIConverterTool but also new native HIS 2010 objects.

    Do I understand you correctly that you've upgraded the same box from 2009 to 2010 ? If this is the case I recommend you to setup a new server box, install than HIS 2010 RTM, configure TI Manager (REs) and SNA-Server (if needed) than install CU1 or CU2 (best would be CU2) and don't forget to reboot the server.

    I had several issues related to yours doing the migration from 2006 to 2010. In my case the issues were solved installing a new clean server.

    Best Regards,

    Hi Tor,

    I'd like to inform you that I could reproduce the issue you are seeing and that I've opened a case at Microsoft to fix that "Bug" :-)

    As soon as I get some feedback and the fix I will let you know !
