� What is the IMS TM Resource Adapter

– WebSphere-based, Java Connector Architecture (JCA/J2C)

Resource Adapter that allows IMS connect to external systems

– Enable J2EE application, Web Service, SCA, SOA Composite

Service Bus (ESB): IBM Integration Bus (IIB)

Mainframe

IMS/CICS

� IIB, formally known as WebSphere Message Broker is a robust, scalable ESB that enables integration of data sources from a wide range of platforms across SOA and non-SOA environments

� Intended directions: IMS Callout to external servers via IIB; IIB to access IMS data directly


IMSRequest Node for IBM Integration Bus

� Allows message flows from IBM Integration Bus (6.1.0.3 +) to call

IMS transactions and handle responses via IMS TM Resource

Adapter and IMS Connect

� Uses IMS connect to communicate with IMS system and can run

on any Message Broker supported platform.

� Based on the IMS TM Resource Adapter but this is not exposed to

user (No need to install or deploy the adapter)

� Requirements: Support IMS synchronous callout

Integrates IMS assets into SOA by providing a standard

Web Services interface to your IMS TM applications

� A direct web service solution for IMS

– Runs on Windows, zLinux and z/OS

– Three main components: The Server, the Management Utility,

the Admin Console

– Lightweight

• Does not need a J2EE server DB2


IMS Callout

� Asynchronous Callout

– IMS V10: IMS application invokes external applications without waiting for response. Response can be received by another IMS application.

� Synchronous Callout

– IMS V10 SPE: IMS application invokes external application and synchronously wait for the response.

– IMS V11+

• Dynamically change timeout value

• Enhanced error situations

� Enable IMS application as clients or Web Service requesters

– Interoperate with business logic outside the IMS environment

– Callout to Java EE apps and Web services providers using WebSphere Application Server and IMS TM Resource Adapter

– Callout to Web services providers (e.g. Microsoft .NET) using IMS SOAP Gateway, or WebSphere DataPower

– Callout to other RYO application servers (e.g. SAP)
