Exit interface blocks

IMS Connect provides exit interface blocks to support the processing of IMS Connect exit routines that support connections to either IMS DB or IMS TM systems.

XIB exit interface block for connections to IMS TM
IMS Connect provides the XIB exit interface block to support the processing of IMS Connect user message exit routines that are used when connecting to IMS TM. You can use the XIB exit interface block and the user area it includes to store information that is used by your exit routines.
XIBDS exit interface block for IMS TM data store information
For connections to IMS TM, IMS Connect keeps track of the status of IMS data stores in entries in the XIBDS exit interface block for data store information. IMS Connect user message exit routines can reference the XIBDS exit interface block to make routing decisions for incoming messages based on the status of the data store.
XIB1 exit interface block for connections to IMS DB
The XIB1 exit interface block supports IMS Connect exit routines on connections to IMS DB through the Open Database Manager (ODBM).
XIBOD exit interface block for ODBM and IMS DB data store information
For connections to IMS DB, IMS Connect keeps track of the status of Open Database Manager (ODBM) instances and IMS data stores in entries in the XIBOD exit interface block for ODBM and data store information. The IMS Connect DB Routing user exit routines can reference the XIBOD to make routing decisions for incoming messages based on whether the ODBM instances and data stores are active.
