1.5 Tuxedo ART for IMS Non-Terminal Access Support
To support the Non terminal access to service exported by MPP, and to enable more client to utilize service exported by MPP, this feature enhances Tuxedo ART for IMS to support Non terminal access. User can utilize the Tuxedo ART for IMS MPP service through Non- terminal applications, such as native Oracle Tuxedo client, SALT client and JCA client.
This feature support both non-terminal tuxedo clients (including native Tuxedo client, SALT client, JCA client) and MQ application.
For non-terminal tuxedo clients, programing interface is provided. Client can access the MPP service by following the programing interface.
Different from non-terminal Oracle Tuxedo clients, a WebSphere MQ application is not an Oracle Tuxedo client. The MQ message format and message flow between MQ applications and traditional IMS applications is already defined in the WebSphere MQ Application Programming Guide. In an IMS environment, MQ application utilizes MQ-IMS Bridge to enable implicit MQI support so that tradition IMS applications can be accessed by WebSphere MQ messages, without having to rewrite, recompile, or re-link them. This feature leverages the Oracle Tuxedo MQ Adapter to convert the MQ application to an Oracle Tuxedo client.
