Before you use the IMS™ TM
resource adapter, you
must first determine the version of the IMS TM
resource adapter and
the development environment you need to use.
Procedure
- Determine which version of the IMS TM
resource adapter you
want to use. The version of the IMS TM
resource adapter that
you use depends on whether you need the new features that are added
to IMS TM
Resource Adapter and
the version of your IMS.
- Determine which integrated development environment (IDE)
you will use.
- If you plan to deploy the IMS TM
resource adapter to an
application server other than IBM® WebSphere Application Server,
you must download International Components for Unicode (ICU) Version
4.4.2 or later from the ICU website at http://icu-project.org/download and
deploy it to your application server.
- Review the potential migration
issues and decide if the issues apply to you.
- Download the runtime component for the version that you
choose. The runtime component is available for downloads
from the IMS TM resource
adapter website. It is also available for installation on z/OS® by using SMP/E.
- If you are upgrading from an older version of the IMS TM
resource adapter, follow
the steps in Installing IMS TM resource adapter service and updates.
