Planning for IMS front-end switch

Using IMS Front-end Switch (FES) in a shared-queues environment requires one of two events.

To complete an IMS front-end switch, either:

  • Coding the FES exit routine (DFSFEBJ0) to route the input messages to the correct LTERM (to deliver FES reply messages correctly).
  • Establishing ISC sessions between IMS systems within the IMSplex (to ensure that FES input and reply messages are sent and received by any IMS).
