Creating a 5250 Component
Creating a 5250 Component Chapter 3
Before Creating a 5250 Component
As with all exteNd Composer components, the first step in creating a 5250
component is to specify the XML templates needed. For more information, see
Creating a New XML Template in the Composer User’s Guide.
Once you’ve specified the XML templates, you can create a component, using the
template’s sample documents to represent the inputs and outputs processed by
your component.
Also, as part of the process of creating a 5250 component, you must select a 5250
connection or you can create a new one. See “Creating a 5250 Connection
Resource” on page -18.
