Hi,

I have a couple of questions. Say I have a application currently running on PLI/CICS/IMS and then the batch process which runs at night.

Is it possible for me to do this: I would like to have a Java Frontend (instead of CICS) and access the IMS database. The remaining batch processing on the mainframe continues.

If its not possible to access IMS, can we access DB2 on the mainframe from a java client? (Still IMS would be better 8) )

Regards,
Manoj.

Manojagarwal,

Yes you can have JAVA access IMS. You need to define a IMS TRANSACTION which will be invoked via and return the data.

Similarly DB2 can also be accessed from Java via stored procedure. you call the stored procedure from Java

Check this link for DB2 UDB for OS/390 and z/OS V7 Application Programming Guide and Reference for Java

Hope this helps...

cheers

I don't have the link handy but check out the IMS Connect guide in the IMS documentation. It gives you a site where you can download an example of a JAVA socket program.
