Verifying installation by using the installation verification program

Use the IMS TM resource adapter installation verification program (IVP) to verify that an enterprise application can successfully access the target IMS system from the application server by using the IMS TM resource adapter.

Before you begin

The IMS TM resource adapter IVP is a simple Java™ EE application that is installed when the IMS TM resource adapter runtime component is installed. The objective of the IVP is to receive a message from IMS in response to the /STA OTMA command. The IVP does not run an IMS application program, so running an IMS application program is not required.

Tip: The IVP does not verify that IMS transactions can run successfully; it performs only the following verifications:

Communications among the client, IMS Connect, and IMS are working.
IMS is running, and is able to execute an IMS command and return the output of that command.
The client is able to submit an IMS command request and receive the output from that command.

Therefore, the IVP does not require a host IMS application.
