* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
Connectivity to IMS is not provided with the Optimized Local
Adapters (WOLA) feature of WebSphere Application Server for
z/OS.  There is no way to call an existing IMS application
from WebSphere, nor is there a way to call an existing
WebSphere application from within an IMS program, using the
WOLA APIs.

Problem conclusion

Code was added to provide connectivity to IMS via the
standard BBOA1* WOLA APIs, as well as the Java Connector
Architecture (JCA) resource adapater archive (RAR) provided
with WOLA.

Enabling OLA support requires additional setup steps.  See
the articles 'Using optimized local adapters for inbound
support' and 'Using optimized local adapters for outbound
support' in the WebSphere Application Server for z/OS
Version 7.0 Information Center.

To access the latest on-line documentation, go to the
library page at:

http://www.ibm.com/software/webservers/appserv/library

If you have installed the Optimized Local Adapters (OLA)
feature on a previous fix pack, you must update the OLA
resource adapter (RAR) after installing this fix pack.  The RAR
can be installed manually, or using wsadmin and the
olaRarUpdate.py script.  Instructions for using the
olaRarUpdate.py script can be found in the WebSphere
Application Server for z/OS InfoCenter.

Failure to update the OLA RAR will result in message BBOA0028
being issued in the servant region when using the OLA feature.

APAR PM16396 is currently targeted for inclusion in Service
Level (Fix Pack) 7.0.0.12 of WebSphere Application Server V7.0.
