Using the IMS service provider

Create a service to enable RESTful access to IMS transactions through the IMS service provider, also known as the IMS service provider (imsmobile-2.0).

zosConnect-2.0 Applies to zosConnect-2.0.

To set up the server to use the IMS service provider for the first time, take the following steps:
  1. Check the Operational requirements.
  2. Review the IMS service security process flow. Determine whether basic or SAF registry must be configured on the server for the initial setup. Identify if RACF is turned on in IMS Connect and if an IMS technical ID, technical group, and technical password need to be configured.
  3. Follow the steps in Configuring for the IMS service provider.
