Java message processing: JMPs

A JMP application program is similar to an MPP application program, except that JMP applications must be written in Java™ or object-oriented COBOL. Like an MPP application, a JMP application is started when there is a message in the message queue for the JMP application and IMS schedules the message for processing.

JMP applications can access IMS data or Db2 for z/OS® data using JDBC. JMP applications run in JMP regions which have JVMs (Java Virtual Machines).
