Using COMTI Over TCP/IP with IMS Connect (298815)

SUMMARY

The COM Transaction Integrator (COMTI) feature in Microsoft Host Integration Server 2000 is supported when you use IMS Connect as the TCP/IP communications package on an IBM OS/390 system.

IMS Connect is a facility for Information Management Systems (IMS) that provides TCP/IP access to IMS applications running on an IBM OS/390 system. As of March 1st, 2001, IBM has officially discontinued support for the IMS TCP/IP OTMA Connection (IMS TOC). IMS Connect replaces the OTMA Connection product and is available as a separately priced facility for IMS.

MORE INFORMATION

To configure COMTI to communicate with an IMS system through IMS Connect, both the COMTI type library (.tlb) and the COMTI Remote Environment (RE) should specify the IMS using OTMA Remote Environment type.
