Installing the CallAPI for VMS

The Automation Engine supplies a CallAPI for VMS. It enables calls in the Automation Engine from your own programs, which can be written in a particular programming languages such as C, C++, or COBOL.

UCXBV??C is a CallAPI utility that can be called from the command line.

A two-character code is assigned for each supported VMS variant and is used in some CallAPI file names.

Note: In this document, the specific code is replaced by ??.

To install the CallAPI for VMS you must transfer the supplied files to the host using FTP:

openIP address
User name = UC4
Password = <as specified>
cd SRC
pwd(check directory)
put MAKEXAMP.COM
put UCXBVXXC.C
put UCCALL3.H
bin
put UCXBV??C.OLB
cd ../BIN
pwd(check directory)
putUCXBV??C.EXE
ascii
put API_START.COM
put UCXBVXXC.INI
put UCX.MSL
bye

Adjust the INI file (UCXBVXXC.ORI.INI) of the VMS CallAPI to your system environment. For more information, see Call API VMS.

Note: You can keep your existing INI file even if there is a new Automation Engine version and adjust it as required.
