Administering IMS for OTMA
The following topics describe IMS administration considerations for OTMA.
IMS conversations and OTMA
OTMA-to-IMS conversations are send-then-commit and are nonrecoverable.
MSC and OTMA transactions
You can use IMS Multiple Systems Coupling (MSC) with OTMA transactions.
Fast Path and OTMA transactions
Fast Path transactions must run as send-then-commit transactions.
IMS restart processing and OTMA
If an IMS subsystem connected to an
z/OS® cross-system coupling facility
group must be restarted, IMS reconnects to the group during restart, but all clients must send new client-bid requests to IMS.
IMS Queue Control Facility and OTMA
The
IMS Queue Control Facility
(QCF) supports OTMA messages. You can use QCF to switch between all supported IMS releases, or between Shared Queues and non-Shared Queues.
