The MVS Toolkit is designed to create and manage web services, supporting both REST and SOAP protocols while facilitating life cycle management and security. It modularizes subroutines for applications, modernizes business logic, and provides testing resources. Further information and sample code are available for users to initiate prototypes or mobile applications.

D3 MVS Toolkit

Abstract
 If you are trying to connect to D3 to consume Web Services, you need to attend this
session! It covers all aspects of the D3 Toolkit. You will learn the components and how to
create MV Web Servers and MVSP Servers as well as SOAP or REST BASED services.
Many questions you may have are answered: How do I use a Basic Subroutine or an AQL
statement that I want to execute from my Web Application? How would I manage the Life
Cycle of my Web Services and Promote from one stage of release to the next or deploy to
a customer?

What is the MVS Toolkit
Enables creation and management of Web Services
Supports both REST and SOAP services
Wraps D3/mvBase Subroutines or AQL statements
Provides in-tool testing of Web Services
Security
• ACL based Users and Groups
• Handles (GET, PUT, POST, DELETE)

Why should I care?
 Modernize and futureproof your application
 Retain the robust and mature business logic
 Leverage almost any modern programming language and development
environment
 Re-use Web Services for Web Application Deployment and Mobile
 Have access to plentiful development resources
 Attract and retain new talent
 Make more SALES!!

6. 6
Preparing the BASIC Programs
Modularize as subroutines
• Remove all statements that have user interaction
 CRT, INPUT, PRINT, IN, HEADING, FOOTING, PAGE, PRINTER
 Make sure SUB arguments have a RETURN parameter
 Programs MUST be FLASH COMPILED and CATALOGED

7. 7
SOAP vs REST
• Simple Object Access Protocol
 Only uses XML which tends to be overly verbose
 Requires SOAP Envelope and brings its own protocol
 Focuses on exposing pieces of Application Logic, not data as services
 Cannot cache READS
• Representational State Transfer
 True Web Service based on standard HTTP
 Much simpler to use
 Handles multiple formats
 JSON is usually better for data and parses faster
 Better performance and scalability
 READS can be cached

Next Steps
 Install MVSP and the MVS Toolkit
 Review sample (not production code) on GitHub/RocketSoftware
 Create a small prototype project
• Either create some new Basic programs as Subroutines or remove user I/O
 Create Mobile Application with Rocket Mobile for MultiValue
 Pick a development language to call the Web Services
