We are in the process of verifying IMS connect to call a IMS transaction from Java. We are able to successfully use the phonebook example code that come with this product.

Currently, in the IMS region, we have a transaction which receives data from screen and also reads the SPA, populated by the previous transaction, does the processing and sends confirmation.

In trying to simulate this from Java, we are able to send the screen buffer from Java to the IMS transaction. What I need is to way to populate the SPA as well, so the transaction has everying to process the data.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

I am not sure that you can update a SPA from IMS Connect. I would call IBM and check on that.

Bithead,

Can you please let me know what is an SPA and its usage ?

Thanks for the link Kolusu. The data processing program (txn2 in the problem description) will also be used on the mainframe, so I dont have much flexibility to alter that program.

The way we are achiveing this with a new transaction whose only job is to build the SPA and return control to web app which then calls the txn2. Our SPA is a record in DB2 table with LTERM as the key. It works perfectly in a single user setup.

However, IMS connect is assigning the port number (9999 in our case) to IOPCB-LTERM to all the web app users. Do you know how to make IMSConnect assign distinct LTERMs?

Thanks for the insights.

Drammo,

What are you trying to do with the LTERM name?

I did a little research. Check out the IMS Connect Guide and Reference for a parameter called IRM_LTERM. It is set in exit HWSSMPLx (in the SHWSSRC library) and is used to modify the LTERM value in the IOPCB.
