Defining an OTMA destination descriptor for callout request messages

You can define an OTMA destination descriptor to route IMS callout requests to a hold queue, without the need to code assembler routing exits.

To use the OTMA destination descriptor:

  1. Configure the descriptor in the DFSYDTx PROCLIB member.
  2. Specify the ADAPTER and the CONVERTR values. Set the ADAPTER value to HWSXMLA0 if you want XML data transformation to be completed by IMS Connect.
    The following example OTMA destination descriptor spans multiple lines:
    D SOAPGWAY TYPE=IMSCON TMEMBER=HWS2 TPIPE=HWS2SOAP
D SOAPGWAY ADAPTER=HWSXMLA0 CONVERTR=XMLCNVTR
    • The descriptor for SOAPGWAY routes messages to IMS Connect target member HWS2 with tpipe HWS2SOAP.
    • The ADAPTER is set to HWSXMLA0 for the data transformation to be performed by the IMS Connect XML adapter.
    • The XML converter name is XMLCNVTR.
    Important: Do not share the tpipe that you use for SOAP Gateway callout functions with callout functions in the IMS TM resource adapter.
