The base functionality available in all supported versions of IMS TM resource adapter includes:
This functionality requires IBM® Rational® Application Developer for WebSphere® Software Version 7 or later (or other WebSphere and Rational development environments that include the required version of Rational Application Developer).
With Rational Application Developer Version 7 or later (or other WebSphere and Rational development environments that include the required version of Rational Application Developer), you can generate Java EE and Web services applications to use the IMS TM resource adapter to invoke your PL/I IMS applications.
IMS MFS SOA support is integrated with the Enterprise Metadata Discovery (EMD) framework in Rational Application Developer Version 7.5 or later (or other WebSphere and Rational development environments that include the required version of Rational Application Developer) to transform existing MFS-based IMS applications into J2C Java beans and J2C Java Data Binding classes. After you create a J2C Java bean, you can create Java EE artifacts, such as JavaServer Pages (JSP) files, EJB components, or web services, to deploy the generated J2C Java bean.
For a complete list of new features and the specific version of IMS TM Resource Adapter that supports them, see the IMS TM Resource Adapter website. This website provides separate lists of new features and updates that are based on the version of the J2EE Connector Architecture and the version of Rational Application Developer.
