Is it possible to invoke a NRMPP from a dialog manager transcation.

Say I have a dialog manager transcation, from that transcation I need to invoke a NRMPP which would issue a CHNG,ISRT and would write the message to some destination , Is this possible.

By NRMPP I assume that you mean Non-Response MPP. If that is so then there are a number of ways that this can be achieved.

Easy way - Write a BMP to do the insert for you. Create JCL with instream data on the fly and submit through the internal reader or write to a dataset and submit job to read it. The BMP will insert to the output message queue.

Harder way - use APPC to create input message for MPP.

Very hard way - Use OTMA with IMS Connect or OTMA client.

I have not seen any examples of inputing directly to the output message queue directly from REXX or CLIST.

Hi Bithead,

Thanks for the update. What I am trying to do is , I have a Dialog Manager
Transcation which issues a RESPOND, hence I cannot use Switch to transfer. From this transcation I want to transfer control to another transaction (NRMPP) ( I think using OUTSIDE will could do) , this transaction (NRMPP) would build a JCl and write it to spool and internal reader would take it from there.

Question I have can I proceed with OUTSIDE call to invoke NRMPP and if
yes this NRMPP should be able read the message and issue a CHNG, ISRT to the Spool after building the JCL dynamically.

Thanks
Raj

Is this "Dialog Manager" or "IMS Multi-Dialog Manager"?

[Rajkannan]

It is Standardware Dialog Manager for IMS.

I am not familiar with this product but I took a quick look at the product guide and it seems that this would be the way to do it. What is the destination of the message? Is it an IMS resource (NODE)?

[Rajkannan]

The destination is the spool.

Then look into using the SPOOL API in your NRMPP - IMS Programmers guide - Transaction Manager.
