Installing the CallAPI for BS2000
The Automation Engine supplies a CallAPI for BS2000. It enables calls in the Automation Engine from your own programs, which can be written in programming languages such as C, COBOL, or Assembler.
The element UCXBB2?C of the x.xxx.UCX2?.LIB file serves as a Call API utility that can be called from a procedure or enter a job.
A one-character code is assigned for each supported BS2000 variant and is used in some CallAPI file names.
Note: In this document, the specific code is replaced by ?.
You can specify the CodeTable that should be used in the INI file of the BS2000 Call API. Enter the name of the CodeTable object in the codetable= parameter in the [GLOBAL] section. For more information, see Call API BS2000.
To install the CallAPI for BS2000, you need to set up the system environment and adjust the INI file (x.xxx.UCXBB26C.INI) of the Call API BS2000 accordingly.
Notes:
- The Call API can be used without having to install it, as the relevant files are installed when the corresponding agent is installed.
- You can keep your existing INI file even if there is a new Automation Engine version and adjust it as required.
