Gentle People ,

Current way of processing: 

We use WebSphere Transformation Extender (WTX) for transforming  data to required banking formats like camt/ MT messages.In the Batch processing we store WTX Maps in VSAM file.

Customers requests data and for every customer we run a batch job convert the data using WTX and send the back to the customer. Meaning we are running one batch job per customer. This is how the system is designed currently. Per customer request we are running one batch job, this is causing lot o over head for maintenance. 

Did anyone faced this kind of situation?

Questions: 

I wanted to run my job every minute and and take all the requests( Can be CAMT/MT or any format ) at once in to a file  and run one job to convert the date using WTX tool. Is this possible?

Is it possible to call WTX via Cobol program instead of JCL only. 

Your suggestions are most welcome.

Regards,

Satya

A.  Yes, this is possible.  If, for example, all the messages were on a WMQ queue, you could use the -QTY and -LSN options to retrieve multiple messages, and then use RUN() functions to call the maps to do the actual transformations.  A bulk file is also possible, but WMQ is preferable.

Q.  Is it possible to call WTX via Cobol program instead of JCL only. 

A.  Yes, it is, but I think you may need the SDK or IMS/DC options to be able to do this.  Speak to your IBM Software Sales representative.

Thank you.
