Programming models

The programming model to use depends on the type of IMS transactions that the Java application interacts with.

The IMS™ TM resource adapter supports the following programming models:

Send/receive programming model
Use the send/receive programming model to run an IMS response mode transaction.
Send-only programming model
Use the send-only programming model to run an IMS non-response mode transaction in the IMS Transaction Manager (IMS TM).
Asynchronous output programming model
Use this programming model to retrieve output that has been queued by IMS.
Callout programming models
Use this programming model to send outbound messages from an IMS application to request services or data from message-driven beans (MDBs), Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) components, or web services and, optionally, receive response data.
