The configuration settings for WIRE are stored in a file within the <web folder>\bin\ folder on the IIS server called WIRE.dll.config.  This is where the mainframe connections are setup within the application.

Hostbridge Connection Type – This connection type uses Hostbridge on the mainframe to connect to a CICS application.

<hostbridge> – connect using Hostbridge on the mainframe

• base – IP and Port # to base Hostbridge
• extended – IP and Port # to Hostbridge extended (if licensed)

<transaction> - settings for the specific mainframe transaction

• name – the name that will display on the login screen
• tranid – mainframe transaction id

An example of how this is configured for HostBridge test applications is as follows:

<connections>

    <hostbridge

         name="CICSHB" base="172.29.127.164:91"

         extended="172.29.127.164:90"

         defaultuser="demo"

         defaultpassword="demo">

      <transaction

           name="Catalog Manager"

           tranid="egui"/>

      <transaction

           name="Stock Trader"

           tranid="trad"

           params="&amp;hb_show_extattr=0&amp;"/>

    </hostbridge>

</connections>
