Connecting to IMS with the IMS Universal Database resource adapter

The IMS Universal Database resource adapter provides connectivity to IMS databases from a Java™ EE-managed environment.

The Common Client Interface (CCI) provides ConnectionFactory and Connection interfaces to establish a connection with an Enterprise Information System (EIS). When using the CCI programming interface with the IMS Universal Database resource adapter, your Java application component looks up a ConnectionFactory instance using the Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) and uses the ConnectionFactory instance to get a connection to an IMS database.

Similarly, when using the JDBC programming interface with the IMS Universal JCA/JDBC driver, your Java application component looks up a DataSource instance using JNDI, and uses the DataSource instance to obtain a Connection object
