JR62075: DOC - INFORMATION ABOUT CONFIGURING JNDI TO INVOKE A SERVICE IN A CELL IS MISLEADING

APAR status

• Closed as documentation error.

Error description

• The following statements in "Configuring servers to invoke
  services synchronously"
  (https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SS8JB4/com.ibm.w
  bpm.main.doc/topics/tdev_invkremotesynch.html) are misleading:
  
  "A service component invoking another service synchronously can
  communicate with the target only by configuring the export Java?
  Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) name on the target system
  to a JNDI name on the invoking system."
  
  In fact, the configuration must be done on the invoking system
  only. The target system is configured automatically during
  deployment.
  
  "Note: For simplicity, only the servers involved in this
  communication in each cell is shown and each server resides on a
  different physical machine. However, the configuration for
  cross-cluster asynchronous invocation can apply for the
  configuration in the same cell too."
  
  This note is about asynchronous invocation rather than
  synchronous invocation. Also, configuration is required only if
  the service you are invoking is in a different cell than the
  target system.
