Message structures
The required structure of messages that flow through IMS™ Connect differs depending on whether the message is an input message or an output message, and whether the message has been modified by the user message exit yet. The following topics describe the message structures for the IMS TM Resource Adapter and user-written IMS Connect client applications.
- Input message from client and passed to message exit
Input messages from the client consist of the IMS TM Resource Adapter and user-written IMS Connect client application message structures. - Input message returned from message exit
Input messages from the message exit consist of the IMS TM Resource Adapter and user-written IMS Connect client application message structures. - Output message passed to message exit
Output messages from IMS Connect are passed to the user
message exit in a certain message structure, regardless of whether
the exit is for an IMS TM
Resource Adapter client
or a user-written IMS Connect
client application.
- Output message from message exit to client
Depending on the type
of IMS Connect client and the
user message exit used to support the client, the format of the message
structure differs.
