IMS Connect sample application

The IMS Connect sample application demonstrates that IMS Connect is operational by running a full-function MPP transaction using IMS Connect.

Execution of the IMS Connect sample application is performed through the Q series jobs and tasks of the IVP. The Q series jobs and tasks of the IVP contain all the necessary steps that you must perform to verify that IMS Connect is running properly.

The basic message processing flow for the IMS Connect sample application is as follows:

1. The client application sends a message request (input message) through a TCP/IP session to IMS Connect to obtain information about the part named AN960C10.
2. IMS Connect passes the message to the host IMS for processing.
3. The host IMS schedules a program to access the database named PART and to obtain information from the part AN960C10.
4. The host IMS sends the response message or output message to IMS Connect.
5. IMS Connect passes the response back to the application client.
