OTMA Enhancements

● OTMA (Open Transaction Manager Access) value proposition

o Strengthens IMS as a foundation for open integration technologies

• Used by:

• IMS Connect: clients include IMS TM resource adapter and WAS, WMB, WESB;

DataPower; IMS Soap Gateway, ...

• IMS MQ Bridge: clients include WMB, RYO, ...

• OTMA CI: clients include WOLA

• IMS Connect API: clients include DataPower

• ...

• All of which support cloud technologies and enterprise mobility

IMS Version 13

IMS 13 OTMA Enhancements ...

● OTMA early termination notification

o Autonomic enhancement for higher availability that allows OTMA clients to be informed of

an IMS shutdown earlier in the termination process

• Potentially reduces unsuccessful attempts to send in new transaction messages that

cannot be processed

• Can expedite shutdown processing

• Planned outages (e.g., /CHE FREEZE | DUMPQ | PURGE)

• Sends resource monitor protocol message during Phase 1 of IMS shutdown

• Unplanned outages (e.g. abend)

• OTMA issues XCF IXCLEAVE immediately after the log buffers are purged

• Function being added to IMS 12: APAR PM73869

IMS

5

IMS Version 13


● A new global flood control option that enforces the global flood limit

o Rejects new transaction input and protects IMS from storage exhaustion

• Versus just a warning message

• Note: Individual Member level flood control is unchanged

• Warning at 80%, Rejection at 100%, Relief at 50%

• Enabled by

• Issuing “/DIS TMEMBER ALL INPUT xxx” command

• Previous releases caused only a warning

• Specifying INPT value in a special new member client descriptor

• Reserved name of DFSOTMA

IMS

6

IMS Version 13


● A special new client descriptor (optional)

o Using existing ‘M’ descriptor type in DFSYDTx member of IMS.PROCLIB.

M client-name keywords

Where:

client-name is DFSOTMA

keywords are: INPT= <VALID> global flood control limit DRU= <Ignored>T/O= <Ignored>MAXTP= <VALID> global max number of tpipes that can be created

M DFSOTMA INPT=22222

o New system client name for all the OTMA members, DFSOTMA, is introduced to set global values

For example:

IMS

7

IMS Version 13


● Enhancements to OTMA destination descriptors

• Simplify asynchronous messaging to WMQ

• Remove the need to code the DFSYPRX0/DFSYDRU0 exits

• Provide dynamic change capability with the Type-2 commands

o New descriptor TYPE={MQSERIES}

• Provides asynchronous callout and messaging support (ISRT ALTPCB)

o Specification of EXIT={YES | NO}

• Determines whether or not the OTMA exits are to be called

o Corresponding enhancement to IMS Type-2 OTMADESC commands

• [CREATE | UPDATE | DELETE |QUERY] OTMADESC

• Recoverable across warm and emergency restarts

IMS

8

IMS Version 13


● New mechanism to differentiate between CM0 versus CM1 output message

counts for HOLDq-capable clients

o Can help analyze potential bottlenecks

o Enhancement to /DISPLAY TMEMBER TPIPE command and output

• Provides separate counts for the two output queues

• PRIMARY versus HOLDq

• Applicable only to HOLDq-capable clients, e.g. IMS Connect

• Output messages retrieved using Resume TPIPE protocol

• Only affects non-shared queue systems

• New OUTPUT display parameter is mutually exclusive with SYNC and QCNT parameters

HOLDq is a TPIPE secondary queue used

for three types of messages:

• ALTPCB messages chained to the

first control block used for IOPCB output

• Send-only messages

• Rejected IOPCB output

IMS Version 13


● Additional console WTO messages o Enhances automation capability for environments that look at WTOs

• Previously just MTO messages

• DFS0062W LOAD FAILED FOR DRU exit

• DFS1281E (N)ACK ON NON-EXISTING TPIPE= tpipe FROM MEMBER= member

• DFS1283E (N)ACK ON NON-EXISTING BLOCK IN TPIPE= tpipe MEMBER= member TOKEN= token

• DFS1284E (N)ACK ON NON-WAITING BLOCK IN TPIPE= tpipe MEMBER= member TOKEN= token

• DFS1297E OTMA TRANCOMPLETED. NO OUTPUT DUE TO MSG SIZE EXCEEDED 32K (32767)

• DFS1964E DESTINATION TMEMBER ... TPIPE or DESTINATION NAME= nn NOT ACCESSIBLE,

• DFS2374W OTMA GROUP NAME HAS CHANGED FROM oldname TO newname

• DFS2375W IMS HAS CHANGED ITS OTMA MEMBER NAME FROM oldname TO newname

• DFS2376W IMS OTMA MEMBER NAME name IS THE SAME AS A PREVIOUSLY ACTIVE CLIENT

• DFS2386I OTMA IS CONNECTING TO THE MEMBER xxxxxxxx

• DFS2391I MESSAGE DEQUEUE FAILED DURING RESYNCH FOR TMEMBER =x TPIPE = x

• DFS2393I SRVRESYNCH REJECTED BY TMEMBER= xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

• DFS2396I RESET SEQUENCE NUMBER FAILED DURING RESYNCH FOR TMEMBER = TPIPE =

IMS

10

IMS Version 13


● Concerted effort to reduce MIPS in IMS 13 includes OTMA

o More efficient hashing technique for control blocks

• IMPACT to an environment depends on volume of activity

• Example:

• Every CM1 (Send-then-commit) transaction request has a control block associated

with the port TPIPE during processing

• If a slowdown in IMS or zOS occurs or if the system is actively processing large

numbers of requests then an increasing number of these blocks remain active

• The improved hashing technique results in a more timely and efficient search for a

specific block during application GU or checkpoint

o Usage of the CPOOL and DFSBCB in XCF Message Exit instead of the STORAGE

OBTAIN macro

o Removal of unnecessary MVCL hot spot

IMS

11

IMS Version 13


● Enhancement to ICAL synchronous callout request

o Addresses partial response message due to inadequate application specification

• Provides the ability to complete the retrieval of a reply message

• Without having to re-issue a complete ICAL “SENDRECV” and associated network

transmission costs

o New “RECEIVE” subfunction code

• With an expanded response area

• Retrieves the response message after an ICAL “SENDRECV” is issued with an

inadequate response area specification and gets partial data (AIB RC X’100’, AIB RS

X’00C’)

• IMS 13 keeps a copy of the entire response message in the control region private

storage

• Until a subsequent ICAL “SENDRECV”, syncpoint, or application

• termination

IMS

12

IMS Version 13

IMS 13 ISC Over TCP/IP

● ISC Over TCP/IP value proposition

o New option that supports TCP/IP network connectivity for Intersystem Communication

(ISC) connections

• IMS – CICS

• CICS 5.1 is requires

o Provides a strategic protocol alternative to SNA/VTAM

• Allows an all inclusive TCP/IP solution for networks

o Supports a communication capability with CICS that is in-line with evolving technologies

IMS

13

IMS Version 13

IMS 13 ISC Over TCP/IP...

● Highlights

o Supports both static and dynamic terminals

• Static terminal definitions

• SYSGEN stage 1 TYPE, TERMINAL, SUBPOOL macros

• DFSDCxxx PROCLIB member

• Dynamic terminal specification

• Logon descriptors in the DFSDSCMx or DFSDSCTy PROCLIB member

o Leverages IMS Connect

• Enhancements to the HWSCFGxx configuration member

• Operation Manager (OM)

IMS

14

IMS Version 13


● Functionality

o CICS IPIC (IP Interconnectivity) provides START / RETRIEVE (asynchronous processing)

support

• When CICS is a front-end system:

• IMS response mode transactions are not supported

• IMS conversational transactions are not supported

• CICS application program cannot use SEND/RECEIVE

• When IMS is a front-end system:

• Transaction support is the same for both ISC VTAM and ISC TCP/IP

• Transaction flow is always asynchronous

• No change to existing programs on either side of the connection

IMS

15

IMS Version 13


● IMS terminal definitions

o Static terminals:

• TYPE, TERMINAL, VTAMPOOL and SUBPOOL macros in Stage 1 gen

• Continue to be required for static ISC terminals (VTAM or TCP/IP)

• New keyword: ISCTCPIP in DFSDCxxx

• Specifies that an ISC terminal is to use the TCP/IP support

• Addition, modification, deletion of the ISCTCPIP parameter requires a cold start

• If ISCTCPIP is changed and IMS crashes, ERE ignores the change

o Dynamic terminals (ETO):

• New Logon descriptor information

• UNITYPE=ISCTCPIP, LCLICON=name of local IMS Connect

• User descriptors are optional

• Default user descriptor of DFSUSER will be used

IMS

16

IMS Version 13


● The Common Service Layer (CSL) provides the Structured Call Interface (SCI) for communications o Each IMS and its local ISC-routing IMS Connect system must be part of the same IMSplex

o IMS Connect’s HWSCFGxx configuration member
