IMS mobile services and service registry

Each IMS mobile service (or simply, IMS service) is a RESTful service with an associated IMS connection profile, an interaction profile, and one or two service interface files that define how the high-level data structures are mapped to the JSON schema. The IMS connection profile and interaction profile make up the IMS mobile service registry.

zosConnect-2.0 Applies to zosConnect-2.0.

The IMS connection profile includes information about the IMS host name, port number, data store name and other properties. The IMS interaction profile specifies how each service interacts with IMS, such as the commit mode and sync level. For more information, see IMS connection profiles and IMS interaction profiles.

The service interface files are defined in the z/OS® Connect API toolkit.

For each service, optional runtime properties can be specified in the server.xml file. The values that are specified in the server.xml file take precedence over the values that are stored in the service archive (.sar) file. For more information about IMS service runtime properties, see Configuration elements (zosconnect_services > service > property).
