IMS Synchronous Request sample

The IMS Synchronous Request sample demonstrates how to call an IMS transaction synchronously from within a message flow.

The sample uses the IMSRequest node to make the synchronous calls through IMS Connect. The IMS sample transaction Display All Invoices (DSPALLI) is used, which is typically available on all IMS systems. The DSPALLI transaction can call a REXX or COBOL program and the sample is designed to work with both programs, although only the REXX version is typically installed by default on IMS.

NOTE: In WebSphere Message Broker Version 8.0 and IBM Integration Bus, message model schema files contained in libraries are the preferred way to model messages for most data formats, including the new DFDL domain. Message sets continue to be supported, and are required if you use the MRM or IDOC domains. You can continue to import and deploy message sets for use in message flows. However, if you need to create one or more message sets, message definitions, or message categories when using this sample, you must first enable message set development in the IBM Integration Toolkit. For more information, see Enabling message set development in the IBM Integration Bus documentation.
