z/OS IMS: IMS TCP/IP Direct Connect

TCP/IP support for z/OS IMS uses the CA Gen IMS TCP/IP Direct Connect product and the IBM IMS Connect product on the z/OS machine. The IMS Connect product listens for input from the Comm. Bridge. IMS Connect receives the input message and invokes a CA Gen message exit to start the IMS DPS application using the IMS OTMA interface. When the DPS application processing is complete, a response message is passed back to IMS Connect that returns it to the Comm. Bridge and on to the DPC application.

Installation and configuration information for the IMS TCP/IP Direct Connect components appears in the Host Encyclopedia and Host Construction Installation Guide and in the z/OS Implementation Toolset Installation Guide..

The hardware and software vendor documentation will assist in the setup and testing for communications with TCP/IP.
