Introduction

Welcome to revision 3.01 of Transoft Component Adapters (Deployment).

The Transoft Component Adapters (Deployment) — Installation & Licensing Guide can be found in the base directory of this CD-ROM, along with Microsoft's Word Viewer 97. Install Word Viewer 97.

New Features

  • Inherited context. New commands so that context may be inherited when a service calls another service.
  • Composite web services.
  • Improved performance for large XML output.
  • TCF Screen Adapter
    - MP script for SAM files.
    - Record lines executed in trace files.
    - Improved logging and network tracing.
    - Soft keyboard mapping in Screen Designer and Screen Adapter.
    - Improved error messages.
    - Enhanced tracing.
  • COM Client logging options added.

Bugs Fixed

  • UK26029. Some values in binary parameters can be corrupted when using the Universal Proxy.
  • TCB can report "OS fd limit reached. Too many clients" in the event log and stop responding.
  • An MFC application using the Universal Proxy can have sporadic problems if it calls services in more than one thread.
  • C client interface to TCA can return the wrong field value for fields retrieved by name if the names are similar.

Language Integration

When using COBOL under UNIX, the runtime system will need to be rebuilt or enhanced by linking in the COBOL Application Bus Adaptor library (cobcf.a), or by placing a shared object library version in the appropriate directory.

There is a UNIX shell script within the cobol subdirectory for each COBOL language type supported:

  • aculinktca.sh for ACUCOBOL
  • mflinktca.sh for Micro Focus COBOL
  • rmlinktca.sh for Liant RM/COBOL

Run the relevant script, and follow any instructions provided.

When using COBOL under Windows, the COBOL runtime should dynamically link with the Application Bus Adapter, CFACOB.DLL, although some additional configuration may be required:

  • For ACU COBOL, make sure the CODE_PREFIX environment variable contains C:\WINNT\System32 or wherever your Windows system files reside. Also, make sure that the dll-convention setting is 0 (this is the default)
  • For RM COBOL 7, you cannot use the standard CFACOB.DLL, as RM requires it's extensions to be in a different format. Instead, use the RMCOB7.DLL DLL by adding the option L=RMCOB7.DLL to the command line.

Additional Notes

Users of the SCO UnixWare client-side library should note that the client timeout feature is not supported under UnixWare and possibly other platforms that use the same binary.
