Java Message Service Access to IMS Transactions
WMQ IMS Bridge
Transfers the message to the
unchanged IMS transaction.
Transfers the output message to the
Reply_To_Queue.




MQ Trigger Monitor
Run as an IMS application which use
MQ API to call the business logic
program.

Trigger Monitor is a real MQ-based
application which allows some additional
processing outside of the IMS
application

IMS can act as a server
IMS can act as a client when a transaction issues ISRT ALTPCB
An OTMA client
For specially defined queues, it will take the messages off the MQ
queue and send them to IMS using the IMS OTMA interface
IOPCB output is routed back to the Reply-to Queue

Web Services Involving IMS
Artifacts that can be registered as
Web Services
Java Beans and EJBs
IMS transaction access
IMS DB access via JDBC/ODBA
Scripted flows
DB2 Stored Procedures
Another way of getting to execute an
IMS transaction thru OTMA Callable
interface
Another way of getting at IMS Data
Bases via ODBA


An IMS transaction
can not itself be
deployed as a Web
Service.
You actually write or
generate a component
that can be deployed
as a Web Service
such as an EJB and
this in turn calls the
IMS transaction.

IMS Callout Support
IMS Applications can call an external application

IMS application uses ALTPCB to insert
asynchronous message to clientID
New OTMA descriptor (or OTMA exits) queue message to
client on IMS Connect
Can be generic IMS Connect with super member

Remote EJB, using alternate client support, listens
for messages for the clientID (using RESUME
TPIPE)
IMS TM Resource Adapter passes messages to EJB

Alternatively, IMS TM Resource Adapter can
exploit JCA 1.5 Inbound processing
Passes message to Message Driven Bean, that in turn
calls an EJB or Web Service
