 IMS Java remote database services With IMS Java remote database services, you can develop and deploy applications that run on non-z/OS platforms and access IMS Version 9 databases remotely. Unlike other Java solutions for IMS, you do not need to develop a z/OS application or access a legacy z/OS application to have access to IMS data. Therefore, IMS Java is an ideal solution for IMS application development in a WebSphere environment. Your enterprise application runs on WebSphere Application Server on any supported platform. To access IMS from the application, you must also have WebSphere Application Server for z/OS running on the same LPAR as IMS. WebSphere Application Server for z/OS receives the calls and transaction logic from the non-z/OS WebSphere Application Server to IMS. Your non-z/OS applications can access IMS data over the Internet using a secure protocol with local or global transaction semantics and the standard JDBC API. Network traffic is minimized in this environment because information is grouped together and sent in batches rather than individually on an as-needed basis. To use IMS Java remote database services, you must download the IMS distributed JDBC resource adapter and the server-side IMS Java EAR file from this Web site. You must also install the IMS Java function of IMS on z/OS. Click the following link to go the IMS Java remote database services download page. You will first be prompted to read a license agreement before going to the download page. The download page contains the required files for remote database services as well as the installation verification program and two sample applications for remote database services. For more information about this enhancement, see the presentation titled IMS Java Remote Database Services. For information about installing the IMS Java function, which includes the IMS JDBC resource adapter, see Installing IMS Java. |
