OTMA C/I restrictions

Certain restrictions apply to the OTMA Callable Interface (C/I).

These restrictions include:

  • C/I must be installed in a z/OS® environment before it can be invoked. If C/I is not installed and invoked, an F92 abend occurs when otma_create or otma_open is issued. If C/I is not properly installed, a DFS3911E error message occurs.
  • Application program languages other than C and C++ are not currently supported by OTMA C/I.
  • All OTMA calls must be made in the same state (PSW key, supervisor or problem state, authorized or non-authorized) as the otma_open call. For example: If you were authorized when you did the otma_open call, you must be authorized for all subsequent calls.
  • The resynchronization feature of IMS OTMA is not supported.
  • IMS command /SECURE OTMA PROFILE, is not currently supported.
