Diagnosing problems accessing IMS from Java applications

If you are unable to access IMS™ from your Java™ application, verify that IMS TM resource adapter is properly set up and configured, that IMS Connect and IMS are active, and that you can access the host system by using the ping command.

About this task

If your IMS service is not providing the expected output from the IMS transaction, ensure that the output message that is returned by the IMS application program matches the output COBOL definition used by the service. For a Java EE application, you can view the IMS OTMA message containing the message returned by the IMS application program by setting the traceLevel property to 3. See the topic on logging and tracing with the IMS TM resource adapter for instructions on how to turn on the IMS TM resource adapter trace.
