IMS™ Message Format
Service support for service oriented architecture lets you deploy
existing IMS-based MFS applications over the web to your customers
without touching a single line of code.
IMS MFS SOA support overview
IMS Message Format
Service support for Service Oriented Architecture (MFS SOA) is the next generation
of MFS web services support introduced in IBM® Rational® Application Developer
for WebSphere® Software (Rational Application Developer) Version 7.5 and later,
and is designed to use the latest programming model, J2EE Connector
(J2C) that is supported in Rational Application Developer.
Building an MFS-based J2C service
You use IBM Rational Application Developer
for WebSphere Software to
build an MFS-based IMS service
to accesses IMS MFS functionality
over the Internet.
Configure WebSphere Application Server and the IMS TM resource adapter for MFS SOA
You can configure the Connection Factory in the IMS TM resource
adapter (already installed
on IBM WebSphere Application Server) connected
to the IMS host. You can also
configure the logging and tracing options in WebSphere Application Server for debugging
purposes.
Support for MFS statements
This topic describes MFS statements that are supported,
statements that are not modeled but are implicitly supported through
the parser, and statements that are not supported, but are tolerated
for syntax checking.
MFS Importer messages
You might encounter these exceptions, warnings, and informational
messages when you run the MFS Importer wizard. The User Response section
of each description provides possible actions that you can perform
to resolve an exception or warning.
