Modernize IMS with Java applications and SQL access running inside or outside IMS. Reduce time, MIPs, and stress with cloud-hosted development and testing.

Leverage Java interoperability with COBOL or PL/I to accelerate application modernization. Extend existing IMS COBOL or PL/I applications with Java.

Develop IMS Java applications including COBOL interoperability with 64-bit support as well as using Java 11 with the IMS TM resource adapter and Universal Driver across distributed and z/OS environments.

Deploy applications faster by automating your DevOps pipeline to drive agility and efficiency with Ansible.

Extend your applications with IMS TM’s highthroughput to efficiently access and process your transactions, no matter where your data resides.

Enable IMS data to be easily accessible from any cloud application without additional code.

Benefit from the IMS DB and IMS TM interoperability to integrate with other technologies to customize to your enterprise and drive growth.

Use IMS coupled with IBM Z Security and Compliance Center running on IBM z16™ to streamline compliance workflow and remove ambiguity from audits.

Quickly diagnose the root cause of transaction failures with the ability to view return codes sent from IMS Connect for failed transactions that used the send-only protocol.

Migrate applications off a Systems Network Architecture (SNA) to a modern TCP/IP architecture without making application changes.

Robust lock management and extensive logging ensure that IMS provides uncompromised integrity, and that every record is accounted for, and no data is lost or inadvertently deleted.

Access IMS database easily from any distributed or cloud application using API or SQL.

Leverage DDL utilities to manage your database on z/OS directly regardless of the databases current state.

Leverage hierarchical databases which reduce processing overhead, streamline query processing and enable high availability, storage, speed and low-cost solutions. 

Enable IBM Z pervasive encryption with z/OS data set encryption of IMS data with minimal CPU overhead and no application changes.

With the removal of IMS proprietary tasks, you can access IMS data through a standard SQL approach, which provides greater flexibility in data management.

Integrate cloud-native tools and technologies with IMS subsystems using APIs and database administration tasks which help reduce talent gaps and enable access to more users.

Enable users in an IMS managed application control block (ACB) environment to implement non-structural changes to the IMS catalog without an outage.

Use the ability to purge non-active and non-pending instances from the catalog while IMS is online so there is no sacrifice to availability.
