Values for asynchronous output processing

To retrieve asynchronous output from the OTMA tpipe hold queue, the IMS Connect client application must issue a RESUME TPIPE request. To issue a RESUME TPIPE call, you need to specify the socket type, commit mode, sync level, timer setting, and RESUME TPIPE call options.

To issue a RESUME TPIPE call, specify the following values:

Socket Type
Transaction or Persistent
Commit Mode
Zero
Sync level
Confirm
Timer setting
The timeout range required by your enterprise.
RESUME TPIPE options
Single, single with wait, auto, noauto, or nooption.

For example, if you want to create a dedicated output client that only receives unsolicited output, start a client application to complete the following sequence:

The client application performs a connection sequence.
The client application sends a RESUME TPIPE call with the correct settings in the IRM.
Recommendation: Set the IRM_TIMER value to X'FF', which causes IMS Connect to override the TIMEOUT value in the configuration file and wait forever.
The client application sends a TCP/IP READ to receive the output message.
The client application sends an acknowledgment (ACK–Set the IRM_TIMER value to the same value you set on the RESUME TPIPE call.) and returns to the TCP/IP READ.

The timer interval that is set in IRM_TIMER is a different timer value from the one that is set in the IMS Connect configuration file (that value is TIMEOUT=).

The IRM_TIMER value is the wait value to wait for a RECEIVE issued from the client following a RESUME TPIPE call, or an ACK to the RECEIVEs following the RESUME TPIPE call.
