  • An MPP execution environment to process transactions received from 3270 terminals, MQ-IMS bridge or via ATMI-IMS gateway by calling migrated COBOL/C programs.
  • A BMP execution environment to run messages queued from MPP or IMS batch programs submitted via batch jobs in ART for Batch.
  • A plug-in interface for partner-provided DLI-to-SQL bridge solutions that enable DLI calls from migrated COBOL/C programs to access IMS DB data migrated to relational database, Oracle or DB2. z An IMS ODBA proxy for remote access to IMS/DB data on the mainframe.
