Retrieving ALTPCB output in a shared queues environment

In a shared queues environment, to retrieve messages inserted to an ALTPCB output queue by IMS systems to which IMS Connect is not directly connected, use the OTMA super member function.

To use the OTMA super member in a configuration that includes multiple IMS systems, you must have shared queues enabled for all those IMS systems. If a back-end IMS system creates ALT-PCB output in the super member-enabled environment, the output can be retrieved from any front-end IMS with an OTMA client in the super member set.

To activate the super member function:

Procedure

Specify a 1- to 4-character super member name in the SMEMBER parameter on either the HWS statement or the DATASTORE statement in the IMS Connect configuration member (HWSCFGxx).

Super member names must be unique and cannot be the same as existing OTMA member names.
