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

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)
